Oran fell behind 15-8 after one. They maintained a seven point deficit at the half 24-17. But the Lady Eagles were outscored 34-11 over the final 16 minutes and briefly endured a running clock in the fourth. It was the second year in a row that the girls fell one game short of the final four.
Coach Ethan Evans said, "This was definitely not the way I envisioned our season ending. We didn’t come out in the second half with the urgency we needed and I’ll take all the blame for that. It was really tough to say goodbye to the seniors after the game. They have been the heart and soul of this program and they will be sorely missed."
