Madison Burris scored a career-high 17, Raegan Padilla scored a career-high 16, and Hailey Jackson tied her career-high of 15.

Padilla scored a two as well and Armstead scored a pair of free throws before Sophia Regalado sent Dezeray Burton to the line for two.

Regalado made up for that foul by scoring a bucket of her own, then Darrian Jordan scored two from the line. Muskogee ended on a high note with a free throw then a two from Shamana Virgil to end the quarter 17-5.

Jordan and Virgil traded blows to start the second quarter, then Regalado added her second basket. D’Asia Brown entered the score book with two from the charity stripe, then Jackson and Armstead scored back-to-back to make it 25-9.

The dominant lead began to slip away as Muskogee went on a 13-2 run late in the quarter. Regalado broke up a seven-point streak, but Akira Eubanks hit back-to-back threes to end the half 33-28.

Armstead kicked off the second half with a three, but the Roughers continued to battle back. Eubanks hit her third three and Burton made a free throw to cut it to 40-38 with under 5:00 in the third.

The teams traded blows till 42-40, then Burris scored a two and a three back-to-back, Bayleigh Cheney made a putback, and Padilla scored three baskets and a free throw on a fourteen-point streak. Eubanks broke up the streak with back-to-back threes, but Armstead had the final say of the quarter at 58-46.

The home team deepened their lead in the final stanza behind a ten-point effort from Burris and seven points from both Armstead and Jackson.
