Host South Central drained six 3-pointers in the opening quarter, opening an early advantage as the Rebels beat Borden on Monday, 67-51.
The win clinched the outright Southern Athletic Conference title for South Central.
Shelby Miller hit five from downtown en route to a game-high 27 points for South Central (12-8). Whitney Pease hit four 3s and scored 21 in the victory.
“We did do a good job closing out on the shooters early on,” said Borden coach Charlie Gardner. “That put us in too big a hole early on.”
Sophomore Allison Bishop scored a season-high 20 points and had seven rebounds in the loss for Borden, which returns to the court tonight at Clarksville.
“That’s a big night for (Bishop),” Gardner said. “We’ll need her to keep up those type of performances with sectionals coming up.”
