Inside the Flow
-The first quarter featured four lead changes, but Montevallo would use a strong finish to the quarter to take a 21-15 advantage into the second frame.
-The lead expanded to nine early in the second for the Falcons, but an 11-1 run for the Chargers in the middle minutes of the period turned the deficit into a 30-29 lead with 1:27 left in the quarter after a Harris triple, and after UM briefly regained the lead, Emme Willoughby hit a 3-pointer of her own followed by a Sanders layup to make it a 35-32 lead for the guests at the half.
-UAH quickly pushed the lead out to seven early in the third and would lead for the entirety of the period, but the Falcons narrowed the gap to just one at 53-52 going into the fourth.
-The Falcons took the lead just 48 seconds into the fourth, and they would hold that advantage until the final minute of the period but never by any larger of a margin than three, allowing the layup from Woods with 58 seconds to go pull UAH in front before the hosts snuck back out in front to earn the win.
