Three players, Lyndsey Green, Cassie Peters and Kylee Schlepp all sliced the nets for 12 points each. All were deadly from the line, with Peters going 6-6, Schlepp 6-8 and Green 4-4. Schlepp also matched her point total with rebounds, 12, for a double-double game.
Katie Schlepp banged home nine markers, Anna Pearson popped for six, Beth Grubb tallied five scores, Jenny Silvernale added four, and Kaytlin Fowler had a free throw.
