This year, the Lady Pirates came within an eyelash of suffering the same fate in the Region II-1A DI bi-district round — narrowly holding on to a 30-27 win over Westbrook on Tuesday at McMurry University. Trailing 21-5 at the break, Westbrook rallied to turn a would-be rout into a nail-biter in Kimbrell Arena, with Eula coming up with a handful of key plays down the stretch to preserve the win.
Addison Goodman scored 15 points via five 3-pointers and Emma Damron added seven more to lead Eula (32-2) which now advances to face Munday (12-19) in the area round.
Westbrook (28-3) was led by Raenee Rich with eight points and Hazel Lord with six.
