The action was back and forth during the opening minutes as the game was tied for the fourth time at 10-10 with 11:33 remaining in the first half.
L-R then opened up an 11-point lead with a 15-4 run over the next 4:40 to take a 25-14 lead with 6:45 left in the half.
Newberry dug in to cut the halftime deficit to just four points as Jessica Bearzatto (Melbourne, AUSTRALIA) knocked down a trey to make it 32-28 heading into the break.
The Bears widened the gap again in the second half, extending their lead to as many as 20 when Elkins finished a layup underneath the Newberry basket to make it 60-40 at the 9:37 mark.
Newberry made it difficult again as it climbed back into the game by trimming L-R’s lead to just five points at 62-57 with 3:25 remaining in the contest on two free throws by Leanne Watson (Stone Mountain, Ga.).
L-R forced three late turnovers from Newberry and held on for the 69-57 victory.
The Bears shot 46 percent (26-of-57) from the field for the game compared to just 32 percent (18-of-56) by the Scarlet and Grey.
