In the second half, a layup by freshman Bridgette Kendricks (Parsons, KS/Parsons) got UB within four at 42-38 with 13:05 left in regulation. The Redhawks then used a 13-2 run to take a 15-point lead. SEMO hit its foul shots late in the game as it was able to go to the line 13 more time than the Bulls.

Senior Heather Turner (West Seneca, NY/Mount Mercy Academy) led the way with a team-high 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting. The 17 points were a season-high for Turner. Sophomore Ashley Zuber (Schnecksville, PA/Parkland) finished with seven points, while junior Jamie Schiebner (Saginaw, MI/Heritage) was the team’s leading rebounder with six. Junior Dortae Freeman (Detroit, MI/Cass Technical) had a game-high five assists off the bench. Sophomore Dayna Smith (Garfield Heights, OH/Trinity) had a career-high four rebounds.
