NLC Storm 46 Lighthouse Eagles 33
Shaking off the disappointment of the previous night's semi-final loss, the Storm took 3rd place in the NCHE Athletic Conference for the second year in a row by beating the Lighthouse Eagles in Greensboro. After a slow start by both teams, the Storm held the lead for most of the first quarter. A burst of 6 straight points in the first minute of the 2nd quarter put the Eagles in front, but the Storm did not get rattled. With a balanced attack that had scoring from several girls, they battled back to take a 26-20 lead at halftime. The 3rd quarter saw the Storm stretch the lead to double-figures and hold it there, but in the 4th quarter the Eagles sliced the deficit to 5 points. It would get no closer as again the Storm responded to the Lighthouse run and closed the game out well. This marks the 4th win of the season against Lighthouse, and the 7th in the last 8 meetings between the two teams. Hannah Grace fought off her ankle injury from the previous night's game to lead to the team with 12 points, wihle Anna pulled down 8 rebounds and Rebecca had 4 assists.
