South County’s Tull had a monster third quarter scoring 11 points while making three 3-pointers. Robinson’s Coutinho, who had a slow first half, came to life in the third quarter scoring six points and making numerous steals.

The fourth quarter was all Simonsen. Although she only had four points in the final quarter, she made two long outlet passes off of two rebounds that led to baskets. She also blocked a shot which led to another basket. Coutinho was the beneficiary of these plays and made three difficult contested layups, giving the Rams the edge in the final 90 seconds.
