The Grizzlies broke a 39-39 tie with a 3-pointer by Keyondra White with 11:41 remaining and held the lead for the remainder of the game.

They led 53-45 with 3:16 left before Cassie Lambrecht (Colorado Springs/Golden H.S.) and Emily Wood (Louisville, Colo./Monarch H.S.) buried back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the lead to two points with just under two minutes to go.
