Both teams stepped up defensively in the second quarter as there were just seven points scored. Wooster took a 13-10 lead into the half. Then, despite dealing with an injury to their starting point guard, Westover was able to cut into the lead going on a 10-8 run over the course of the third quarter to set up the dramatic fourth quarter finish. Down 5 points with 1:30 left, the Wildcats finished the game on 6-0 run capped by the winning free throw from Georgia with :14 left. Aniella posted her best game of the season to date with 17 points and 16 rebounds. Wooster had a chance to win or tie the game on their last possession with two free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining but missed both and did not get a shot off after claiming the offensive rebound.
