Making an impressive run later in the third frame, an Erin Hagan layup tied up the game before a Hall basket gave CPP the lead. The two teams traded the advantage in the fourth quarter but a three-pointer from the Toros' Ali Bettencourt at the 1:58 mark proved to be a crucial basket as Dominguez went on to take the 73-66 result.
