Chelsea Dortch scored 4 of HCA’s 7 first-quarter points, and they trailed only 8-7 after the first 8 minutes. However, Kinley Deason and Abbi Bullock each hit 1 of 2 free throws for the Lady Warriors only offense in the second quarter, and Clarksville Christian led 18-9 at the halftime break.
Just like the first quarter, the Centurions outscored HCA 8-7 in the third frame for a 26-16 advantage. Both teams warmed up in the final quarter, with Dortch scoring 9 points and Deason chipping in 5. Lexy Radcliff had 8 for Clarksville to help seal the win. The Lady Warriors couldn’t get any closer to 10 before losing by 11.
