How it Happened

1st Quarter

• Neither team led by more than three points in the frame, and after 10 minutes of action, the score was tied, 13-13.

2nd Quarter

• The Golden Tigers led for most of the second frame, but a 10-1 run for the Falcons that spanned 3:29 in the late stages of the frame helped Montevallo take control.

• After Tuskegee scored the first two points of the second half, Montevallo ripped off eight straight tallies to build a 43-30 lead with 7:29 to play.
• Tuskegee closed the gap to five points at 48-43 with 1:45 to play, but Montevallo scored four of the final six points of the frame, and Montevallo led 52-44 with 10 minutes to play.

4th Quarter

• Montevallo opened the fourth quarter on an 11-0 run to essentially put the game away.
