PORT HURON, Michigan — Pima women's basketball fell to Community College of Baltimore County-Essex, 89-75, in the quarterfinal round of the NJCAA Division II Tournament in Port Huron, Michigan.
The Aztecs trailed 43-40 in the third quarter but the Knights went on a 25-8 run and Pima was down by 20 heading into the fourth quarter. Rio Rico native Luisa Chavez finished with a game-high 21 points on 7 for 13 shooting as she posted eight rebounds and four assists.
The Aztecs will now play No. 6 seed Bryant & Stratton College in the fifth place consolation bracket on Thursday.
