Sophomore guard Meghan Peneueta led the Warriors with 16 points, four rebounds and four steals. Freshman guard Hunter Noa added 11 points off the bench.

“I think what went well was the level of confidence and energy that we came out with,” freshman forward Kourtney Noa said. “That’s what really helped us come out with a win. Also, being able to execute both offensively and defensively.”
