The fourth quarter proved it was going to come to whoever had the ball last Angelo State had a strong fourth quarter and after the Cowgirls got a shot off a timeout by Angelo State had the ball with three seconds left tied at 68-68 it was going to come down to one last shot. The Rambelles got it inside and a missed shot sent this one to overtime.
