T-Town went 3-1 overall in tourney play.
Izzy Hardiek scored five five-quarter points, helping the Lady Shoes take a 12-8 lead after the opening eight minutes, and Zoe Cremens knocked down a pair of three-pointers in the second period, as T-Town took a 20-13 advantage to the locker room at intermission.
The Lady Knights were still within six points, 25-19, heading into the final quarter, but the Lady Shoes got eight points from Courtney Gibson and outscored then 11-7 to secure the win.
Gibson was the only THS player to crack doubles figures with 10 points, but Hardiek and Cremens both scored nine.
