"I was really proud of our kids at halftime, they had some things written down that they didn't think they did very good," Head Coach
Kelsey Keizer. "And I thought we did good things, they just hit a lot of shots, they hit a lot of threes they took advantage of every mistake we made. I think we got down as much as 13, but our fight just stayed at a high level, and I thought we just continued to compete and what helped us today, in those moments where they shot those three's and started getting hot, is we scored on the other end. It was nice to have production from a number of people and that kept us in the game. So, the adjustments we made at halftime, we were able to come out on top."

Kelsey Blakemore went a perfect 5-5 from the field and contributed 15 points, second on the team. A familiar
