The Rundown
 
The first quarter was slow offensively for both squads, with the first bucket not getting put in until over a minute into the game when Colorado hit a jumper. The offensive struggle for the Tigers would continue until 5:46 when Maggie Robbins put in the first two points for the Tigers by sinking two free throws.

Both Tiger teams would have their lowest-scoring quarters of the season as the first quarter came to an end with Colorado having a 9-10 lead. 
 
The Tiger offense got an earlier start to the second quarter when Bailey Timmons (Argyle, Texas / Argyle) hit a jumper off an assist for Robbins. Colorado would grow their lead to nine in the second quarter but the Tigers would quickly close the gap back to four with two buckets in a row. Colorado outscored the Tigers 8-7 to finish the half with a 27-35 lead. 
Colorado would hit the first basket of the second half to push their lead to double digits for the first time. The scoring would then halt for three minutes until three shots in a row hit the bottom of the net for the Tigers to bring the score to 34-37. Colorado would make their best move of the night when they closed the quarter with a 14-3 run to take a 37-51 lead into the final quarter of play.
