• Raia Guinto pulled up from the top of the key in the face of the Pronghorn defender in the final minute of play in the first half, bringing the Lethbridge lead within eight points, but on the other end Vlada Hozalova and Kamryn DeKlerk both took turns breaking down the defence to earn layups and the Horns finished the quarter up 12.
