The Knights shot 48.3% from the field on their way to a 46-32 halftime lead.

For the game, sophomore guard Kylee Hamilton led the Knights with a season high 17 points. Other players reaching double figures were Morgan Clemons, who scored 15 points on a perfect 6-6 from the field and 3-3 from the line, Darion Hutchinson with 12 points and Therese Montano and Allison Matheis both chipped in 10 points.
