The Greyhounds (15-5/13-3 NE-10) closed out the final four minutes of the first half with an 8-2 spurt that afforded them a 32-20 advantage at the break. They then led by double-digits throughout the final 20 minutes and again closed strong by scoring 11 of the final 15 points to run their win streak to four games.

Junior forward Kelly Meredith tossed in a game-high 23 points, on 10-for-15 shooting from the floor, and sophomore guard Katy Howard scored 16 points to pace the Greyhounds, who also got eight points and 14 rebounds from senior forward Molly Griffiths.
