The third quarter would see the Patriots begin to stretch their legs offensively, shooting 40% as a team as five different players recorded a point. Nikolina Vukcevic scored seven points by herself as the team defense ramped up to holding the Bulldogs to just 2-for-10 in the frame.
 
In the fourth and final quarter of the day, UT Tyler shot an even 50% from the field as they went 10-for-20 as a team. Cumming would light up the frame, scoring eight points on 4-for-6 shooting as six different players recorded a point while the team hit four three pointers.
 
Polina Latysheva scored 16 points on 6-for-12 from the field while adding nine assists and six steals. Cumming added 13 points and five rebounds and Sablinskaite added 11 more with five boards and eight steals.
 
The Patriots in their 32 turnovers forced scored 28 points and held a 23 point advantage in the category. They also led 18-3 in fast break points, and 21-2 in assists.
 
UT Tyler now gets a week off before welcoming Dallas Christian for a matchup on Friday, November 28th at 2 p.m.
