Thanks to a strong first half and a dominating first quarter, the Lady Cats won their second game in two days with a victory over Owensboro, 49-43 on the road.

The Lady Cats jumped out to a 14-4 lead after the first and held a 25-13 lead at the half. The second half began with a rocky start for the Lady Cats as Owensboro outscored them 15-6 in the third to cut the Edmonson County lead to 33-28. 

Owensboro made another strong showing in the fourth, but the first half deficit was too much for the Lady Devils to overcome as the Lady Cats went on to win.
