Amanda Mageean led the Bucs' superlative defensive effort that stifled the Sailfish in a 51-32 win. The Bucs forced 26 turnovers and held the Sailfish to 24.5 percent field goal shooting.

Bryan Chiverton came off the bench to lead the Bucs to a 79-75 win over PBA. He had steals and layups, reminiscent of Texas Western's Bobby Joe Hill against Kentucky in 1966, on consecutive possessions that gave the Bucs an 11-point cushion with 2:40 left that they rode to the win.
