Eighth ranked Pella survived a lengthy drought in the fourth quarter to hold off second ranked Lerwis Central 47-41 in a class 4A quarterfinal round game. Leading 41-30 early in the fourth quarter the Lady Dutch went into a delay game and managed only one field goal the remainder of the game.

The Lady Dutch only managed eight points in the fourth quarter but held on for the victory. It was a struggle all game on offense for the Titans who made only five of 20 shots in the opening half and trailed 26-15 at the break. The Titans pulled to within 41-37 in the fourth quarter but misfired on four opportunities to get even closer.

Maegen Holt led Lewis Central with 21 points.
