The Lady Bulldog lead expanded to four points, 26-22, following an 8-6 margin in the third period.
The Schulter cage squad was unable to hold off the Lady Yellowjackets in the final stanza, as Cameron took the final frame by a 15-8 advantage to hand the Lady Bulldogs the season-ending, 39-34, loss.
Alyssa Evans led a balanced offensive attack for Schulter in the playoff contest with a team-best eight points. Macee Henderson was next in the scoring column for the Lady Bulldogs in the season-ending setback with seven points, followed by Addiemae Kanada with six, Caidence Campbell five, Jenna Henderson three, Payton Campbell and Angel Vinyard two each, and Alexis Hurt one.
