HOW IT HAPPENED
1ST QUARTER
Barton jumped out to an early 9-0 lead after a layup from Skylar Quillet just two minutes into the opening period. UNC Pembroke trimmed its deficit back to 11-7 with a triple from the top of the key from Alcenia Purnell at the 4:42 mark, but the Bulldogs pushed their lead out to 13-7 with a layup with 3:32 left to play in the quarter. UNCP outscored Barton 6-2 to finish the period, but Barton held a slight 15-13 lead heading into the second quarter.
2ND QUARTER
A fast break layup from Kalaya Hall knotted the score at 15 apiece, but a three pointer from Lauren Walker cushioned the Bulldogs lead 18-15 with 7:25 left to play in the half. The Braves shot 46.7 percent from the field and took their first lead of the evening, 21-20, with a jumper in the paint from Zaria Clark halfway through the frame. UNCP put together a 7-0 run to end the half and hold a 28-24 lead as the teams headed into the locker rooms. 
3RD QUARTER
Aniah McManus canned a three pointer to open the half, but an Erial Owens jumper cut the Barton deficit back to 31-26. Kelci Adams ignited the offense with a triple to send the Braves on a 13-0 run to extend their lead out to 44-27 following a Kalaya Hall layup at the four-minute mark. The Bulldogs were limited to just 23.1-percent shooting, as UNCP closed out the period on an 11-4 run to hold a 55-31 lead heading into the final stanza.
