Likely and Amber Ward each hit two-point shots in the final minute of the quarter to cut the Shelton State lead to 24-12 at the end of the first quarter. Frenika Craig made a pair of layups in the second quarter, but the Buccaneers extended their lead before halftime. Shelton State led Wallace 49-25 at halftime and put up 35 points in the third quarter to lead 84-41 at the end of the third period.

The Patriots were held to just eight points in the final quarter, as they suffered a 62-point defeat.

Shelton State will play Wallace Hanceville Friday in the conference finals.
