3-point goals: Salisbury 5 (Noble, Bryant 4), Carroll County 7 (Ervin 5, Hagee, Alley).

Lauren Alley had a double-double, 11 points, 10 rebounds.

Alley ended the third quarter with 3-ball from the top of the key and opened the scoring in the fourth with a basket. The five point run came after the Hornets had pulled within 6 points after a flurry of their own.

The Cavaliers came up clutch from the free throw line late, going 5 of 6 down the stretch.

The trip down to High Point offered the Lady Cavs a great opportunity to compete against a level of interior defense that might not come up again until the team enters the post season.
