Despite two difficult setbacks on Sunday, Alabama State amassed the second-highest pin count (3,099) in the final round, trailing only Southern's 3,253.

In Sunday's final bracket style round, the Lady Hornets dismantled Alabama A&M. The closest match between the two foes came in game 1 (203-174) while the other four matches were easy wins for Alabama State (194-124; 233-149; 193-130). Tiarra Wilkins continued her strong play, leading the Lady Hornets on Sunday with a cumulative 680, including a game-high 246 pins during the tournament's final match against Southern University.
