Dee Merriweather keeps the boards clean for the Tide, averaging 10 per contest.
The Lions (2-0) have used a tough inside game and have four players scoring in double figures.
Susan Kern paces Columbia with 14 points per game, while Erin Jaschik and Megan Griffith both average 12 points per game. Adia Revell, a fourth option for the Columbia offense, averages 11.5 points per game and leads the team in rebounds with 9.5 per game.
Tournament play continues Saturday with the consolation game at 12:30 p.m. Friday's winners face each other at 3 p.m. in the championship.
