HOW IT HAPPENED
The Roadrunners would score the first nine points of the game before a Kate Gallery three, assisted by Kaylin Venick, got the Rangers on the board. Emily Allison scored in the paint, followed by two threes by Jessica Bollwahn, both assisted by Venick to close out the quarter, with RU having closed the deficit to just two, 15-13.
Gallery and Bollwahn scored in the paint on back-to-back possessions to open the second and take the lead. While MSUD went on a short run to take back a five-point lead, the advantage flipped again after Gallery set up a Bollwahn three, and Mary Crossland assisted a Gallery triple. Savanna Staff came up with a steal for Regis, but Metro still managed a 6-0 run. However, Venick went the length of the court for a Ranger jumper, giving the momentum back to RU, down 30-27 going into the break.
Caitie Turnbow and Bollwahn converted quick layups in the third to take back the lead, while Gallery hit a pair of three-pointers. Gallery continued to to lead the offense with a jumper in the paint, and three assisted by Venick, while Bollwahn came up with a block for the Rangers, assisted Gallery, and hit a pair from the free throw line. The Roadrunners scored late in the period to bring the game within two going into the deciding quarter.
Early buckets by Gallery, Bollwahn, and Allison pushed the Ranger lead up to seven, and with just over five minutes to play, Bollwahn found Crossland for another three and an eight-point lead.
