After a long layoff, the Devine Arabians came to town. A back and forth contest that never saw the lead get to more than 4 points for the first 3 quarters. A quick spurt in the 4th quarter allowed Devine to take a 25-16 lead with less than 2 minutes to go in the game. The Lady Bulldogs did not quit. A three by Estella Calderon
allowed the Lady Dogs to apply some full court pressure. Steals by Hannah Edwards, by Mackie Williams and Calderon led to some easy layups. Unfortunately time ran out and the Arabians escaped with a 25-23 victory. High scorers were Calderon with 9 and Edwards with 6.
