Moren said, “I liked the poise that the team showed while down during the first half,” and that led to a well balance of great play on both sides of the court. Sophomore Forward MacKenzie Holmes, once again, directed the paint, sinking 12 of 17, and finishing with 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 blocked shots; while Ali Patberg had a second consecutive huge game of offense, adding 23 points.
