Greensboro controlled the game throughout the first and second quarters as their defense really set the tone. The Pride defense contested shots and rebounded well as the Fighting Squirrels of Mary Baldwin couldn't find their rhythm on offense.

Mary Baldwin's Aryauna Brent helped lead the comeback as she scored a total of 16 points on the contest. The Pride shot just 13% from the floor in the third period, and needed their offense to come alive if they were going to pull out their first victory of the season.

Greensbro did find just enough offense in the final quarter to force overtime. Tamera Hooker had a chance in the final seconds to win the game, but her two point jump shot fell short and the teams would play an extra 5 minutes to settle the game. 

In the overtime period, the Pride shot 4-7 from the floor and 2-2 from the free throw line to seal the win. Tonya Williams was a major contributor in the second half and overtime, as she finished the game with 15 points, including a clutch jumper in overtime.
