The Bulldogs (2-2) raced to a 25-10 lead after the opening period and never looked back, maintaining a double-digit advantage for the remainder of the game. Kaylee Yarbrough and Briana Rivera each scored 15 points to lead Samford. The Lady Rattlers (0-4) were led by Breazia Robinson, who finished with 14 points and nine rebounds.
