Scoring the Game
The Blue Hose came out hot, knocking down three of their first four three-point attempts to jump out to a 12-4 advantage in the opening minutes of the contest. The Buccaneers countered with three triples of their own in an 11-4 spurt which cut PC's edge to 16-15 after one.
 
Compton netted the first five points of the second quarter, extending Presbyterian's lead to 21-15 with 8:11 left until halftime. Charleston Southern got within three on a couple of occasions, but a quick six-point PC spurt courtesy of a Tionna Carter three-point play and Maleia Bracone triple near the midway point of the second quarter stretched the margin to 31-22, the largest advantage of the first half for the Blue Hose. The Bucs clawed a little closer in the closing stages of the period, and PC took a 35-30 edge into the locker room.
 
The two teams traded baskets for the first several minutes of the third quarter, but another quick six points on a Compton three-point play and Bracone three-pointer pushed PC's lead into double-digits, 47-37. CSU briefly trimmed the deficit back to four at 47-43, but the final five points of the frame went to the Blue Hose, who were up 52-43 after three quarters.
 
A Godfrey three-pointer with 7:32 left jump-started a 16-3 Charleston Southern run, which included 11 in a row at one point, to put the hosts on top for the first time. Presbyterian got back to within a point twice in the final minutes, but the Bucs were able to close it out from the free throw line.
