The win pushed Union City to 2-0 in the Washita Valley Conference standings.

Both teams struggled to score early as Binger-Oney led 5-2 before Union City got two free throws by Breanna Goad and a Kamryn Cook basket to lead 6-5. The Bobcats got a late basket to take a 7-6 lead into the second period.
