The Lady Raiders' struggled to capitalize on numerous opportunites to cut into the Montini lead after the half.

Renita Bunte was called for a charge after grabbing a steal, and the Lady Raiders would shoot 0 for 4 on shots following Lady Broncos turnovers, including missing three 3-point attempts.

QND made six steals in the quarter, but only scored three points off of turnovers.

Montini continued to make the shots it needed in crucial situations, getting another 3-pointer from Seberger and a layup from Michala Johnson to keep a six point distance, 34-28, with 3:38 left in the quarter.

Karlee Gengenbacher answered with a layup of her own, but QND scored one more bucket in the quarter, thanks to a jumper from Chloe Barnes with 1:26 to play in the third. Bunte added another free throw in the waining seconds.

The Lady Raiders shot 1 for 6 in the final 2:44 of the quarter, failing to close the gap as the Lady Broncos also struggled to find the basket in that same time frame. QND missed two shots in the final seven seconds of the quarter.
