Carlton would go on to outscore the Mercs 21-16 in the second half to secure the 37-32 victory. Reed led the way for the Dogs with 9 points.

Also scoring for Carlton was Ashley Anderson 8, Amanda Groth & Alaina Bennett with 6, Vanessa Davis 2, Millie Groth 2, Mackenzie Goranson 2, Hailey Klassen 2.
