The team’s 83-70 result in their favor at the second buildup game against Men’s select on Tuesday morning is evident that the girls want to thunder very accurately in Birmingham. Through all the four quarters of 20 minutes each, the girls won all of them with the results clock ticking gradually as 18-15, 40-31, 62-49 and finally 83-70.
