Kynlee Henderson, Allie Craft, and Sophie Arvin each scored four in the third for Heritage Christian, but Lillian Barr answered with eight to help FCA extend its advantage to eight points with a quarter to play.
The Lady Warriors got four points from Lexi Lyon in the fourth, but Barr scored five to finish with a game-high 17 and close the door on an HCA comeback.
Henderson led Heritage Christian with 13 points, and Craft finished with 10.
HCA slipped to 2-9 ahead of a visit from Cloverport on Friday. Foundation Christian improved to 4-7 with its third win in four outings.
