On Feb. 13, the Winslow Lady Bulldogs would travel to Chandler to take on the Lady Sentinels of Seton Catholic Prep in the first game of post-season play in a game that would show the tenacity that this Lady Bulldog team has shown all season. The Winslow fans that traveled with them, with the Seton announcer remarking that it seemed more like a home game for Winslow with the number of our fans showing up for the girls.
The game would stay close through the first three quarters and in the fourth quarter the Lady Bulldogs would finally take control of the game in large part due to the defense of Taylin Puhuhefyava, Ayla Curley and Tatum Henling, who would shut down the main two play makers of the Lady Sentinels.

In the second quarter, the Lady Bulldogs would take the lead scoring 12 to the Lady Sentinels 7, making the halftime score Winslow, 18 and Seton Cathloic, 16.
