Campbellsville’s hot first quarter in which they outscored the Bearcats 20-6 was just enough to pace them to victory.
Entering this game, Rust was the last remaining HBCU team in the NAIA women’s tournament following first-round losses from Philander Smith and Florida Memorial respectively.
Their season concludes with a 23-6 overall record.
