The Muskies continued to increase the lead throughout the rest of the second half, ending the game with a 15 point victory.

“We really stuck together as a team and put them under pressure with our defense,” junior forward Becky Mayo said. “We were able to get tough stops and then convert those into points. We just took it play by play and played with a lot of heart.”
