Alexis Staples led the Owls with 18 points.  Morgan Kisgen and Rylee Hanson added 12 points each.

Mackenzie Foss was the leading scorer for Hillcrest with 20 points.  Anna Rasmussen added 10 points and Molly McGuire had 8.

“We played a great first half,” said Hillcrest Head Coach Hannah Clark.  “We moved the ball well on offense which led to open shots.  We handled their full court press and did a good job of taking care of the ball.  Our defense intensity provided a spark that carried over to our offense.  We had a short bench tonight and simply ran out of steam in the second half which led to sloppy passes and poor defensive possessions.  Our team took a step in the right direction and I look forward to watching this team grow this season.”
