Alexis Pierce's three-pointer from the top of the key with three seconds left sent Johnson-Savannah (25-6) to the Final Four after surviving a Peach County (26-3) onslaught in the second quarter. The Atomsmashers jumped out to an 8-0 lead and took an 8-3 advantage into the second quarter. From there, Peach County led by Florida State signee Nausia Woolfolk over. Jordan Davis sank a three at the 2:32 mark of the second quarter to take a 15-10 lead as the Lady Trojans held an 18-10 lead at the half after holding Johnson-Savannah to 1-of-14 shooting in the frame while outscoring them 15-2. Woolfolk scored nine in the opening 16 minutes with her running mate Jordan Davis tagging on eight points. Peach went cold in the third quarter but still led 29-24 going into the fourth. Johnson-Savannah's Sy'Marieona Williams tied it at 29 with a layup at the 6:13 mark, Peach County going six minutes without scoring. Johnson-Savannah led 41-36 before the Lady Trojans ripped off a 7-0 run capped by a Davis three to take the lead 43-41 with 1:36 left. The Atomsmashers tied it with 1:24remaining before Pierce buried the dagger.
