TK Stone 43 Southern 36 (Championship) (Rupp Arena)
Southern coach Chris Fitzgerald started the following lineup: Brittany Combs, Samantha Fitzgerald, Dylana Fothergill, Destiny Molden, and Adison Corder. TK Stone coach Tim Mudd countered with Erin Boley, Dani Wilson, Reauna Cleaver, Darien Huff, and Livie Bowling.
TK Stone led 33-20 at the end of three quarters on their way to a 43-36 victory over Southern. Game MVP Erin Boley led the victors with 15 points. This is a very balanced team that has several girls capable of putting up big numbers. They are very unselfish and the ball goes to the player with the “hot hand”. Southern was led by Destiny Molden and Brittany Combs with 15 and 11 points respectively. This team is extremely solid with excellent long range shooting with Corder, Molden, and Combs and solid inside play with Fitzgerald and Fothergill. Fitzgerald also has the ability to be very effective on the perimeter.
