It took overtime but the Lady Red Raider get the win over Ensworth.
Baylor girls 64, Ensworth 56: The Lady Tigers and Lady Raiders battled in a contest filled with just as much drama as the boys game. In fact, regulation wasn't enough to decide a winner in this matchup, and a winner wasn't crowned until a four-minute overtime period had been played. Baylor eventually ground out a 64-56 win with impressive performances late, and a scoring burst in overtime.
The game stayed locked up and separated by only a few points all throughout the first half with Baylor trailing 31-27 at the break. The Ensworth lead was in large part due to a superstar performance from guard Jaloni Cambridge who rattled off 18 first-half points and looked poised to will her team to a victory.
Early in the second half, however, Cambridge flung herself into the stands looking for a loose ball and though she stayed in the game after a grimace or two, the ensuing trip down the floor ended with her dropping to the ground and being helped off the floor. Cambridge did not return to the game and Ensworth missed her offensive firepower for the duration of the contest.
Riley Oleksik and Bella White carried the load for Baylor in regulation, but when overtime started, Hadleigh Warton took over. Warton scored all 12 of Baylor's points in overtime and single-handedly sunk the Lady Tigers after an epic balanced matchup.
Lead in scoring:
-Hadleigh Wharton with 20
-Riley Oleksik 16
-Bella White 12
Baylor improves their record to 3-4
