Korine Talkington threw a pass to Odom for another Campbellsville touchdown to steal the lead. The Lady Tigers' defense came into play with a big fourth down stop in the red zone to prevent Milligan from scoring. Scott threw a 35-yard pass to Odom for a first down, and the half closed with the score tied, 12-12.
