- Freshman Olivia Hamlin came off the bench to score a career-high 23 with four 3-pointers, while Sydney Benally added 15 to steady the offense.
- Senior Lara Rohkohl grabbed 14 rebounds with six blocks and 9 points, and Delaney Gibb contributed 12 points with seven boards and six assists despite a cold shooting night.
