Down by 20 at one point in the third quarter, the Lady Trojans got within 50-42. But Riverdale hit three 3-pointers and pulled away.

The Miss Basketball finalist finished with 14 points and four assists. Sophomore Brinae Alexander finished with a game high 17. Amanda Whittington finished with 15-points and was 5-of-6 from the three-point line.
