Freshman Casey Collier notched 13 points, had six rebounds, and swiped a team-high three steals.

Freshman Jalyn Holcomb added 10 points and five rebounds. 

The Lady Bisons had a strong first quarter, ending in a 12-0 run (which extended to 14-0 with the first basket of the second quarter), ending with a basket at the buzzer from Collier. 

The Bruins rallied off an 8-0 run of their own to regain the lead in the second quarter. 

The two teams traded three-pointers in the third, with each squad draining three deep balls in the third frame of the back-and-forth contest.
