The fourth quarter, however, became a test of character as Broomfield mounted a furious comeback. After Power 6th pushed their lead to 32-19 on consecutive baskets from Case, Broomfield responded with an incredible 14-point scoring streak that not only erased the deficit but gave them a 33-32 lead. Just when it seemed the momentum had completely shifted, Case stepped up with a clutch three-pointer to reclaim the lead at 35-33, showcasing poise and confidence under pressure.

The final minutes featured four lead changes, with both teams trading big shots in a dramatic finish. After Broomfield tied the game at 37-37, Case calmly sank the game-winning free throw, and Emery defended the inbound to deny Broomfield a final shot opportunity to close out the win.
