Despite allowing the Rams back into the game, the Pioneers battled, ending the game on a 9-0 run in the final 1:31.
 
"I'm happy with our resiliency to come away with the win," Jillson added. "We gotta be able to put 40 minutes together to be at our very best."
 
Carissa Moody led the way with 20 points and 14 rebounds, posting her fourth double-double of the season while London Archer finished two rebounds shy of her own double-double with 12 points and eight rebounds. 
 
"She's just so tough and she has such a quiet confidence about her," Jillson said of Moody. "If you know her, she doesn't say much. She just goes to work."
