As she's done several times this season, Felllisia Young scored the Lady Royals first basket Saturday night.

Irianna Moss fights for a rebound.

But they would score just four points in the final three minutes and trail 31-30 going to the fourth. The deficit grew to ten in the fourth as BC scored just two points in the first 3:20.

Destiny Pallord had consecutive baskets in the second quarter.
