The Bobcats out-shot the Pirates 50 percent (29-58) to 46 percent (28-61) for the game, but the Pirates turned up the heat in the second half, hitting at a 63 percent clip, including the 4-of-5 from long range.

Shermika Harris led all scorers with 21 points, including four three-point buckets, while 2014 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Freshman of the Year Brigitta Barta added 18 and Dee Hayward 17 with five assists.
