By halftime the Paladins had closed the gap to eight points and gave Coach Curtis a chance to draw up a plan to get them back in the game. The Paladins came out to a different Bulldogs team that also had changed up to pull away from the Lady Paladins.
The Bulldogs extended its lead in the third quarter even with Furman making some key shots and also playing good defense, the Bulldogs shots just kept going in and causing the Paladins to fall behind more. The start of the fourth quarter would have the Paladins down 19 points and in a tough spot with time flying by quick.
