The overspill of fans poured into New Trent Gym on Saturday witnessing yet another victory for the Lady Blue Bears. Fowler who grabbed the defensive rebound with 7 seconds left in the contest was sent to the free-throw line, hitting 1-2, edging the Blue Bears by four points.
The competition was probably the most seen thus far on the season from the Golden Bulls, giving the Blue Bears a hard-fought battle. The Golden Bulls' Phifer hit 20 points in the game, making the offensive crusade that much tougher.
Amber Curtis and Precious Roberts were both offensively a force with Curtis leading all scorers with 23 points and Roberts barely tagging behind with 22 points.
The Blue Bears were able to defeat the Golden Bulls despite not having leading scorer Kyra Crosby, due to not feeling well before the game.
The Lady Blue Bears went into break with a slight 42-35 deficit, pacing the Golden Bulls for the second half.
Intensity grew after halftime, for the score tied 68-68 due to a couple three-pointers from the Golden Bulls' end with under six minutes left in the contest.

Fowler had quite the day, as she ended up on the stripe knocking down 1-2, and sealing the deal for the team.
