HOW IT HAPPENED

The first two quarters were closely contested seeing seven lead changes with neither team ever leading by more than five.

With the score tied 53-53 at the 5:25 mark of the fourth quarter, the Cougars would use a 10-3 run to take control of the game. Nelson got things started with a layup and capped the scoring spurt with a three-pointer.
Spring Arbor was able to close out the game at the free throw line as Faith Johnson, Ryann Laier and Gracie Cabana combined to go a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe down the stretch.
