All tied up 35-35 in the third quarter, the Titans went on a 10-2 run and headed to the fourth quarter with a nine-point lead.

From there Bady took over scoring 12 of her game-high 18 points in the fourth quarter. It was the second straight strong game for Bady, who finished with seven rebounds and three assists.

Lewis finished with 16 points and Obouh Fegue had 14 points and nine rebounds as the Titans improved to 17-4 overall and 2-1 in the conference.
