Today's game was back and forth most of the way with Glenburn taking a 23-17 lead to end the first-half before Brewer came back in the second half to outscore the visitors 18-10 for the 35-33 win.

Allie Flagg and Lauren Voteur led Brewer with 10 points each; Mariah Roberts, eight; and Linsdey Pine, seven.

Glenburn was 4-of-8 (50 percent) from the foul line and they had one 3-point basket from Wiles.

Trailing by six after the first-half Brewer fought back with a better defense and started making shots that they were missing in the first stanza. 

Glenburn took its last lead of the game at 4:53 31-29. At 1:15 Brewer took the lead for good with the score tied 31-31 when Flagg nailed a 3-pointer from the left side giving them a 34-31 lead.

Glenburn's, Wiles, made a pair of foul shots to make it 34-33 and that was as close as it was going to get with Brewer scoring one more on a foul shot to capture the win by a slim margin.
