Game three followed the same script as the first two games with the Lady Mustangs leading 7-1 and 13-4 before the Lady Jackrabbits stormed back to cut the lead to 21-19. But CAC responded with two key points before finishing off the victory with a 25-21 decision.
"The girls have practiced hard and played well tonight," said head coach Brooke Parker. "We need to continue to improve our mental toughness and learn to finish games after building a lead."
