The low-scoring affair was set early on with a slowed-down offense on both sides with Olympic up 7-5 after one quarter. In the second quarter, BC was aided by a combined 4-for-6 shooting by freshman Madison Shepard and sophomore Jalena Henry as the ‘dogs outscored the Rangers 26-11 to take a 21-18 lead into the locker room at halftime.\u00a0 OC would chip away to tie the game after three quarters at 32-all before the fourth.<\/p>\n

OC would then capitalize on Bellevue fouls by converting at the free throw line to take a 39-38 lead before Bellevue would fight back before Byrnes’ clutch free throws with only seconds remaining for the win.<\/p>\n
Shepard led Bellevue with 8 points while Byrnes, who normally contributes with her scoring prowess, led BC with 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n
