In the first half the Lady Hawks kept the game close with tight defense. The score was knotted at 17 a piece with less than ten minutes left after SC freshman guard Blue Buchanan (Machester, Tenn.) sunk a jumper. The Saints then went on a 23-10 run to finish out the half and give North Georgia the 40-27 lead going into the locker room. Seniors Brandi Owen (Cornelia, Ga.) and Katie Schleisman (Suwanee, Ga.) led the Lady Saints in the first with nine point a piece.

North Georgia poured on the offense in the second half and out-scored the Lady Hawks 46-27 in the half. The closet SC could get was 13 with 13:50 left to play until the Lady Saints went on a 9-0 run to all but seal the victory. North Georgia led by as much as 34 as they shot 15-28 (54%) from the field in the second half.

Five Lady Saints scored in double figures with junior guard Katie Williamson (Suwanee, Ga.) leading North Georgia with 19 points after shooting 5-8 from the field and 9-10 from the line. Owen pitched in 16 followed by Schleisman with 13. Freshman forward Rachael Jolley (Covington, Ga.) had 11 and junior forward Jeanine Dorminey (Tifton, Ga.) added 10.
