Permian was able to match the third quarter success with 16 more points, but came up short of regaining the lead in the final stanza.  The Panther defense was unable to contain Rosalez, and the Maidens added another 20 points to secure the 55-48 win.

Christian led all scorers with 18 points.  Guzman finished the evening with 13, which included a pair of three-pointers.  Cooper and Leal each added five points.
