Freshman forward Kee’Maya Snowden was the Pirates’ leading scorer, as she poured in 18 points.

Shannon Dez netted 15 while Kalyn Reed contributed 13.

Sophomore point guard Quaraya Fuston had a solid night in nearly all aspects of the game as she had a near-triple double in scoring 10 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out eight assists. For good measure, the ex-Grizzly also got five steals.

The teams were tied at 69 at the end of regulation.
