Brynn Williamson led the Cyclones with 17 points, going 6-for-6 from the free throw line. Nicole “Kidd” Blaskowsky went 4-for-9 from the 3-point line, where the Cyclones hit 12 3s.
The Cyclones went only 8-for-30 on 2-point field goals.
Four Cyclones scored in double figures, led by Williamson and Blaskowsky (16), followed by Jadda Buckley (14) and Nikki Moody (12). Christofferson led the team with 9 rebounds.
