Rogers scored 17 consecutive points and eliminated Cabot in the final game of coach Carla Crowder's long career.

Crowder announced before the tournament she was retiring after 38 years in coaching, including the final 16 at Cabot.

Rogers (18-9) advanced to face Conway in a quarterfinal game tonight at 7 p.m.

The Lady Mounties did most of their damage in the third quarter when the Lady Mounties outscored Cabot 16-5. Taylor Treadwell made two 3-pointers and Amber Covington one during the 17-0 surge that culminated with two layups from Courtney Storey to begin the fourth quarter.

"That was such a momentum swing," Rogers coach Preston Early said of his team's 17-0 run. "Taylor hit a couple of threes that helped us relax then Amber, who has played well enough to be a starter, is so impactful off the bench for us. She just has a knack for making plays."

Treadwell and Covington both scored 10 points apiece, followed by nine from Storey. Brooklyn Strachener scored 11 of her 13 points in the first half to lead Cabot (14-12), which could get no closer than seven points after falling behind 39-24 following Storey's baskets.

Rogers led 8-0 before Strachener scored Cabot's first basket with less than four minutes left in the first quarter. Cabot took a brief lead before Rogers tied the game 19-19 at halftime.
