To start the fourth quarter, Nelson dropped in a floater and Reynolds had climbed all the way back to make it a one possession game. The temperature on the court was rising.

However, Reynolds, having pushed with all their might, started to lose some steam. And then came the turnovers. And Cambridge started making shots again.

“I think we had three straight turnovers at one point,” Chamberlain said. “That put it right back to seven or nine points.”

Johnston pushed it back to five points (45-40) with a layup at the Devils’ end. Jolene Parker cut it to four, making one of two freebies. But again the Devils found Johnston for another. And Baer followed that up with her third trey of the game to make it a nine-point affair at 50-41.

The Raiders got desperate and left some holes open. And Cambridge took advantage, ending the game with a 10-2 run.

“We were a little too eager (in the third),” said Rauscher. “We started to over-play. We were taking too many chances. But we were able to settle down and make some plays. And I think Reynolds got tired by the fourth quarter. They had made their run.”

After Johnston’s 27 points, Baer tallied nine. Sauers added eight points and Wilson finished with seven points and five steals.

For Reynolds (17-10), D’Urso scored 19 points and Nelson knocked down 13.

“We had our ups and downs this season,” said Chamberlain. “And this game was kind of like a microcosm of the year that we had. It was the little inconsistencies that hurt us.”
