The Panthers advanced to the championship game with a 99-95 win over Cedarville University in Friday's second semifinal.

The Arrows got their first lead (19-18) after a fastbreak layup from Brianna Woods with about 8:30 minutes left in the half.

After a Paige Baugher three-ball tied the game at 22 with 7:22 left, Ursuline went on a 15-5 run to take its biggest lead of the first half, 37-27. Jenny Grigsby tallied eight points during the stretch. UC took a 37-31 lead into the break.

In the second half, UC would maintain its lead until an 11-4 Trojan run tied the game at 48 with 12 minutes to go.

Trevecca hit eight free throws and got a jumper from Anna Mitchell over a 4:45 span to tie the game.

That rally would spark the Trojans to victory.

Over the next six minutes and change, TNU would out-score UC 20-10 and took its first double-digit lead of the game 68-58 after a Haley Felker three-pointer.
