ALEXANDRIA, La. – The No. 2-seed Lyon College women's basketball team opened up the second quarter on a 10-0 run and outscored No. 3-seed Reinhardt, 22-10, in the period as the Scots claimed their spot in the championship game of the Alexandria Bracket B Opening Round pod with a 66-53 victory over the Eagles on Friday afternoon. The Scots will face No. 1-seed Lindsey Wilson on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Alexandria, La.
 
With the win, the Scots improved to 14-1 on the season, while Reinhardt ended its season at 12-7.
 
The Eagles commanded the opening minutes of the game as Reinhardt jumped out to a 12-3 lead over the Scots with 4:25 left in the first quarter. The Scots managed to cut the deficit to six as Mari-Hanna Newsom knocked down a three before Jade Giron split a pair of free throws just before the end of the quarter.
 
It was all Lyon to begin the second quarter as the Scots opened up the period on a 10-0 that put them ahead, 19-15. After a put-back by the Eagles to end the run, the Scots got back-to-back scores by Marleigh Dodson and Newsom as Lyon extended its lead to eight, 25-17. Reinhardt pulled back within four with just over three minutes left in the quarter by Lyon led, 31-25, at the half.
 
A bucket by Reinhardt's Darika Chelsey pulled the Eagles within two, 33-31, but much like the second quarter, the Scots responded with a big run in the third period. The Scots knocked down four three-pointers over the course of a 16-4 run as Lyon extended its lead to 49-35. The Eagles pulled back within single digits momentarily before three free throws by Giron and a bucket by Blysse Harmon gave the Scots a 54-40 advantage after the third quarter.
 
A layup by Paige Kelley gave the Scots their largest lead of the game, 56-40, with 7:22 left to play as Lyon would command a double-digit lead for almost the remainder of the quarter.
 
Giron led the Scots with a team-high 18 points and eight rebounds, while Newsom chipped in 11.
