Foster drilled three shots from well beyond the arc — two in front of the Bentonville bench — and Freeman hit two more as the Lady Charging Wildcats (19-8) jumped out to a 15-8 lead, and they never relinquished it.

Bentonville (18-5) didn’t help its cause by going almost 11 minutes without a bucket, including the entire second quarter, but managed to stay close as North Little Rock’s offense slowed down as well. When Samantha Rhuda scored inside with 5:37 remaining in the third quarter, the Lady Tigers drew within 29-23.

North Little Rock stretched its lead to 37-25 on Destine Duckworth’s putback with 2:49 left in the third quarter, and Bentonville couldn’t get any closer than 45-40 on Gracie Eaves’ three-pointer with 12 seconds remaining.

Foster finished with five three-pointers and 16 points to lead North Little Rock, followed by Freeman with 13 and Duckworth with 11. Jada Brown led Bentonville with 16 before she fouled out in the final minute, while Rhuda added 10.

The loss was Bentonville’s second in a row to end the season. The Lady Tigers played the final five games without 6-6 senior and Baylor signee Maryam Dauda, who was injured in a practice.
