Great Bend was able to cut the Monarch lead to five at 40-35 in the final seconds of the third quarter when Emilee Lane was fouled on an offensive tip-in with just 1.1 seconds left and after she converted the three-point play putting TMP up 43-35 through three quarters.

The Panthers cut the TMP lead to five to start the fourth quarter before the Monarchs outscored Great Bend 14 to 6 over the next four minutes to build a 57-44 lead on their way to a 59-49 win.
