The Lady Bulldogs took a 28-17 lead into the locker room at the half, but Nixon-Smiley cut the lead down to five at 33-28 with about 2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter forcing 2nd year Marion head coach Cassandra Robinson to call a time-out.
“I saw us going through the motions and we didn’t have that momentum that we had in the first half and I told them that it’s gonna take everybody on the court to wanna do their job and to be able to do their part.” Robinson said. “We know that we have earned a target somewhat from this past year and a half solidifying this foundation that we brought in and these girls understood the words being said in that timeout and they executed.”
