The Lady Greyhounds would continue to attack and fight their way back, as London Robinson would score 18 of her 22 points in the 2nd half going 12-14 from the free throw line. Along with Robinson, her sophomore duo partner in Charalyn Rester would also score 12 of her 15 points in the 2nd half hitting 2 big timely three pointers.
