The Bulldogs built a 28-point lead in the second half, which was enough to hold off the Mountaineers - despite a near comeback towards the end of the game. Texas Lutheran had 15 different players play in the game.

Karisa Cantu and Dalia Camargo led the Bulldogs with 17 points each off the bench. The duo combined to hit 10-16 from the field and 13-15 from the foul line to pace the offense. Chelsey Stolle finished with seven points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.  

Kelsie Jackson's 17 points led Schreiner, as she hit 11-12 from the free throw line for most of her points. Bailey Harris also had 16 points, hitting four three-point buckets. Jackson also had a team-best six assists and eight rebounds.

Playing in its first SCAC Tournament, the Bulldogs (22-5) have charged to the conference final, and will face off against either hosting Trinity University or the University of Dallas.

Schreiner (15-12) finishes the most successful season in program history, setting a new single-season record for wins while earning the school's first-ever postseason victory.
