The Lady Pioneers ( 5-1) scored only four points the first five minutes of the game and led 15-10 after the opening period. They would warm as their full court press hurried up the Lady Bulldogs, that force numerous turnovers. They would outscore the Dogs 26-15 in the second quarter to take a commanding 41-25 lead into intermission. Leading 57-39 going into the final period the Pioneers would score 34 points in the fourth quarter. The Pioneers are playing so far this season without leading scorer from last season, Savannah Dunford. Savannah hurt her knee back this summer and had surgery and is hopefully back mid January.
