Pinewood opened leads of 12-2 and 18-8 in the first quarter but SHP rallied to close within 30-27 by halftime.
Stine, opportunistic on defense, used her quickness to steal several passes, including what appeared to be a handoff. That helped stymie Pinewood’s offensive momentum.
Pinewood more than held its own defensively, slowing SHP’s transition game and forcing the Gators out of rhythm. The Panthers outscored SHP 27-14 in the second half.
Annika Decker scored seven points, had seven rebounds and distributed five assists for Pinewood.
