Key Moments

Tied at 46, the Pioneers went on a 10-0 run midway through the third quarter. Johnson scored a trio of buckets, one of which came on an assist by Peyton Romo, who also hit a 3-pointer during the run. Mukai scored and hit two free throws as well. 

Behind by six going into the fourth, the Tigers outscored the Pios, 15-9, and tied the game up at 70 apiece with 5:43 remaining. Leading by one a few minutes later, Occidental's Mallory North hit a 3-pointer to bump the lead up to four. Lewis & Clark regained the lead a minute later. 

With 22 seconds left, Mukai hit her second three of the game and the Pios led 84-80 and eventually closed out the game.
