Three other Hillcats reached double digit scoring with Clarissa Cannon tallying 18 points, Katy Harsen pouring in 14 points and Kami Bunch rounding out the group with 12 points.

RSU chipped away at the deficit throughout the second stanza and took the lead at the 4:53 mark with a 3-pointer by Jade Hardy from the left elbow to make it an 81-79 game. RSU held the lead the rest of the way. Kami Bunch sealed the win with a banked 3-pointer as the shot clock expired, stretching the Hillcat advantage to 91-85 with 28 seconds to play.
