The game started strong for the Lady Barons, who quickly established an early lead with an early three-pointer from Ja'Ka'Yah Draughn. The first quarter closed with the Lady Barons leading 25-23. By halftime, Brewton-Parker had extended their advantage to 48-34, thanks to effective inside plays and key layups. However, the Mariners kept the pressure with consistent free-throw shooting.

The second half saw Brewton-Parker maintain their lead, bolstered by a stringent defense, and they led by 13 points in the third quarter, ending 65-58. However, the fourth quarter marked a drastic shift as the Mariners staged a formidable comeback, capitalizing on the Lady Barons' turnovers.

Looking ahead, the Lady Barons aim to regroup and seek their first win of the season against Point University in West Point, Ga., on December 6, 2025.
