• The Jackets started off the second half with another short run that consisted of a Ross and Williams layup before Arrington would drill a three-pointer with 6:30 to go to make it 40-34.  She would follow that up by getting three the old-fashioned way finishing a layup through contact and hitting the free throw.  Hatfield and Williams would hit layups before Arrington hit another shot from behind the arc before sophomore Peyton Humphreys hit a jumper with 2:38 to go, pushing the lead to 52-45.  Williams would finish another and-1 with seven seconds left in the quarter to send the Jackets into the final frame up 57-50.
