Warren’s offensive rhythm and defensive pressure fueled a 42-22 halftime lead.

Miller led all scorers with 17 points, including three three-pointers. Calbert followed with 15 points and three triples of her own, while Fellows added 14 points with two three-pointers. Simmons contributed 12 points inside, giving Warren four players in double figures.
