North Greenville took over the momentum to begin the 4th quarter, scoring twelve straight points to begin the quarter and getting the deficit down to three. After a free throw by the Braves to get in the scoring column in the quarter, a layup by Abi Oates took the deficit down to two points. However, fouls became an issue for NGU as free throws allowed UNC Pembroke to build the lead back up in the form of free throws, hanging on to win by eight points.
