The Lady Wolverines were led in scoring by Kaelyn Froebe with 11 points, Kennedy Lolling with seven and Morgan Lolling with five.

On the defensive side of things, Haley Hicks was able to pick off five steals as well as take two charges. Lolling and Froebe both helped by picking up three steals each.
