Records: Bridgewater 3-0, Centre 1-1
 
How It Happened
  • The Eagles opened the game with the first six points as an Erika Nettles jumper and two Riley Corcoran layups gave BC an early lead. Centre answered with a run of their own to tie the game, but Corcoran nailed another jump shot to take he lead back. Bridgewater never trailed ending the quarter ahead 10-6.
  • Centre opened the second quarter with a pair of buckets from long range taking it's first lead. The Colonels stretched their lead to as much as four before the Eagles took a timeout. BC closed in and took a lead of their own, but that was short lived as Centre stretched its lead out to three 21-18 with 1:34 to go in the half. In the closing stages Jasmyn Pierce found Reagan Maynard who buried it from downtown to knot the game at 21-21 heading to the half.
  • The third quarter was all Bridgewater. Maynard knocked down the first basket of the half for BC and the Eagles would not allow a basket for the first 9:18 of the quarter. Centre scored in the final minute with a three pointer but Jaden Alsberry answered knocking down a jumper of her own to answer and put BC ahead 36-24 heading into the final frame.
