DANVILLE, Ky.—Another career game from sophomore Keimarya Rivera who scored 30 points and recorded her 10th double-double of the season was not enough as the Oglethorpe women's basketball team fell to Centre 68-63 in the quarterfinals of the Southern Athletic Association tournament on Sunday.

The Stormy Petrels caught fire in the third quarter, erasing an eight-point first-half deficit and three-point deficit at the break. Briley Elder connected on one early in the second half to tie the game, then Jessamy Gaetanos hit one to give Oglethorpe a three-point lead midway through the quarter. The game saw several lead changes in the third quarter, including a 3-pointer from Anna Conza that put the Petrels up one, then another from Gaetanos on the next possession that did the same.

Oglethorpe led by two with four minutes left in the third quarter but a 9-1 Centre run put the Colonels into the lead for good. Then, a 3-pointer from Centre early in the fourth quarter made it a seven-point game and the Petrels were never able to get it closer than four.
