With the game tied at 18-18, the Lady Warriors closed out the first half on a 18-7 run and took a 36-25 lead into halftime.
Red Lake was never seriously threatened in the second half as they built their lead to as many as sixteen at 41-25.
Grace White had a huge game for the Lady Warriors as she scored 24 points, pulled down 13 rebounds, recorded 8 steals and dished out several assists.
