After the half, the Lady Raiders came out and played cohesively and controlled the flow on the floor and restricted the Cyclones to only one 3-Ptr. The final score 75-66. The Lady Raiders had great stats with four players in double figures and scoring almost every free-throw only missing one of 26 attempts.
