The Lady Tigers fell behind early, and trailed 16-7 after the first quarter. As the second half began, Republic faced a 10-point deficit, 28-18.
But the Lady Tigers used solid defense in the 3rd quarter to close the gap, outscoring Carthage 17-7. The game was tied 35-35 after three quarters.
The Lady Tigers saved their best offensive output for the 4th quarter, outscoring Carthage 20-10 down the stretch to take the victory.
