Heading into the fourth quarter, Olmsted Falls trailed Pickerington Central 42-36. A prolific fourth quarter led the Bulldogs to a victory, as they went on a 12-point scoring run, pushing them ahead of the Tigers.
The Bulldogs were led by forward Mia Kalich, who scored 16 points, making 6 of 7 shots. She also notched a double-double, bringing down 12 boards in the contest.
Danielle Cameron led the Bulldogs in scoring with 23 points, 18 of which came from behind the arc.
Earlier this week, 3News' Brianna Dahlquist spoke with senior point guard Paige Kohler ahead of the final four.
"We just want to win it all. We've never done it, and we're making history by making it to the Final Four. We want to win it, we don't wanna go home without the trophy," said senior point guard Paige Kohler.
Kalich also attributed the team's success to the girls' camaraderie on and off the court.
"We're so close off the court. I mean, we're always hanging out, and we're always either getting food after practice or having a movie night at someone's house at team sleepovers. So that friendship and camaraderie off the court translates to what we do on the court," said Kalich.
