Rock Valley ended up shooting over 61 percent from the field and almost 42 percent from beyond the arc while the WolfPack shot 44 percent from the field and just seven percent from three.

The WolfPack were led by Megan Petty's season high 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting including 4-for-6 shooting from the free throw line. Taylor Nelson added 18 points and five rebounds while fellow backcourt mate, Kelly Calhoun pitched in with 12 points and eight assists.
