"We shot the ball really well tonight," said Fayetteville coach Vic Rimmer. "It's been a steady progression shooting the three from December to know. We were making three, four a game and then five, six a game. I thought our kids were unselfish. They were driving the lane and seeing those kick outs."

Spangler opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer and DaShundra Morgan and Lauren Holmes hit back-to-back 3-pointers for a 21-13 Lady Bulldogs lead.

"It just snow balled on us," said Rogers coach Preston Early. "They got some turnovers in a row and converted. Fayetteville scored from so many spots. Fayetteville is starting to get it together. They are good." Sports on 01/27/2016
