Brookhaven quickly extended their lead to 33-23 to start the second half on two free throws and a steal and basket from Laura Beth Wright. Mary Lindsey Magee’s offensive rebound and put back with 1:23 left in the quarter gave the Lady Cougars their biggest lead at 48-32. Delta would get no closer as Brookhaven cruised to a 66-40 win to improve to 13-1.
Laura Beth Wright added 14 points for Brookhaven, Anna Mangold 13, Mary Lindsey Magee 8, Anna Lofton and Summer Calhoun 2 each.
