Langhi gave the Lady Marshals a 12 point lead to open the second half that the Lady Bulls would cut back to nine on a three by Deandrea Dumas. Miami Northwestern closed to within six points before a timely 3-pointer by Chloe Kerrick put the Lady Marshals up 35-26 and a final third quarter basket by Powell made it an 11 point lead.
The Lady Marshals out-scored the Lady Bulls 14-10 in the fourth quarter with scoring from Paige Henson, Powell, Langhi and Tera Colson. Langhi’s 18 points led all scorers and Dumas led Miami Northwestern with 17 points.
