Mirkovic continued her strong play in the third quarter, scoring seven points as the Titans would rally from eight points down to lead 42-40 heading to the fourth quarter.

Things would get tight in the final minute but the Titans hung on as Angelina Spence had a big steal on an inbounds pass to help seal the win.

Mirkovic finished with a team-high 19 points while Parpara had 15 in the win.
