After a Bomber miss to start the 4th, Tiffany Heselton buried a three from the key, making it a 3-point game. Brownstown went up 36-31 and the Rams Lindsay Floyd (Windsor) fought for a rebound and was fouled. She sank both free throws 

The next time down the floor, Madison Boone droveinside then dished it out to Floyd for a trey, competing the Ram comeback and tying the game, 36-36, with 5:00 to play.

The Bombers scored off a steal, then scored inside, 40-36. After a near-steal at mid-court, Ram post player Lindsay Burton (Stew-Stras) threw a skip pass to Boone, then cut inside. Boone got her the ball and she put it up past two defender, got the bucket, and the foul. 40-38.

Ram point guard Courtney Schultz (Stew-Stras) stole the ball and brought it back for a fast break 2, knottying the score again with 2:20 to play, 40-40.

Burton then got a steal and took it hard to the hole.She was fouled and made 1-of-2 for a Ram lead, 41-40 with 2:09 to play.  Floyd got a steal for the third straight Ram steal in three Bomber possessions.

Brownstown split a pair at the line and tied the score, 41-41. Brownstown put on a stifling press, but the Rams finally got it to Burton, who broke the press and got a lay-up, 43-41, with 1:15 to play.

Brownstown made one free throws with 57 seconds left, 43-42. With 23 seconds remaining in the game, Olivia Williamson was foulr on a jump shot from the wing. She made the front end of a 1-and-1, 44-42.
