The nightcap saw the Tennessee Wesleyan University junior varsity squad hold a 21-13 lead just past the midway point of the first half. But the Bulldogs would end the first half on an 18-4 run to take a 39-17 lead into the locker room.

The Bobcats would manage 33 points in the second half, but it would not be enough to make up the deficit as they dropped a 74-50 decision.
