Junior Michaela Ligon continued her standout junior campaign, leading the way with a game-high 22 points, knocking down seven field goals and stepping up at the free-throw line to help keep UMSV competitive through the early stages. Sophomore Grace Kennedy also had a strong showing, putting up 16 rebounds along with 13 points, showcasing her activity on the glass and her ability to score both in the paint and from mid-range.

Freshman Grace Giacinto delivered a strong overall performance with eight points, four boards, three assists and a game-high six steals, showcasing her abilities on both ends of the floor. Kyla McLean chipped in with three points, and Hailey Shalor added two points of her own with hustle plays down the stretch.
