Tied at 8-8 in the first quarter, freshman forward Kishyah Anderson knocked down a three-ball to give Yavapai an 11-8 lead at the end of the period.
In the second quarter, the Vaqueras built a 25-16 lead with just five minutes left to play in the half. The Roughriders, however, refused to quit and hit the next three baskets: an Anderson three, jumper from freshman guard Hollie Dalton and another three from fellow freshman guard Saydee Allred.
The 8-0 run by YC brought the halftime score to just 25-24 in favor of Central Arizona.
In the third quarter, the Roughriders found themselves in a hole once more as they trailed 40-32 with a minute and a half to go. That’s when Allred knocked down another shot from downtown followed by a three-pointer from freshman guard Wynter Huskie to trim the deficit at the end of the period to just 40-38.
Unfortunately for the Roughriders, they were outscored 15-7 in the fourth quarter and eventually fell by the aforementioned final of 55-45.
Anderson notched 21 points on the night while Allred joined her in double digits with 10.
