Bourne broke the drought with her eighth and ninth points halfway through the quarter. Allison Weidner came in the game and scored the first non-Australian points with a wide open three. Shortly after that Prairie View gathered their first rebound of the game.
Prairie View got a couple of deep threes to keep the game from looking really awful.
