Teammate Abby Micek helped dominate the second half. She netted seven points in the third third period while Rippe netted six.

Micek drained a long-range three during that quarter where Rawlins outscored those Huskies 13-9.

Sophomore Taten Deweey took over the final eight minutes where she delivered six huge victory-clinching points.

Micek totaled 11 for the game and Dewey added nine points.

Rippe made five of her nine field-goal attempts.

Freshman Katie Shively and Dewey both stepped up to secure five rebounds, behind only Micek’s six.
