for San Jacinto's hot shooting. The Gators would go 51% from the field on
the night, holding the Fillies to only 29%. Quarter after quarter, the
Gators of San Jac just came out hot. Their largest lead on the night was at
26 points in the third quarter with a score of 54-28.

a long shot from behind the arch. San Jac would go on to win the quarter
22-13. Going into half time, the Fillies found themselves down 24-38, and
again down at the end of the third 36-60.
