After a three-game weekend, the Lady Eagles turned around to face Welch College in their fourth game in five days. After a little bit of a slow start, both the Lady Eagles and the Lady Flames found their groove. After a close first quarter, the Lady Eagles became dominant, ultimately winning the game by a final score of 85-67.

As the quarter got under the final minute, the Lady Eagles put together a 6-1 run in the last 50 seconds giving them a 27-21 lead at the end of the 1^st quarter. Using this momentum, the Lady Eagles dominated the second quarter! Winning the 2^nd by a score of 21-8, the Lady Eagles were able to force 10 turnovers in the 2^nd quarter.
