Despite a relatively slow start, UWW started to pick up the offensive efficiency toward the end of the first quarter. Katie Hildebrandt sparked a late run with a jumper in the paint at the 2:37 mark. Lunden Alexander added a free throw before Mallory Oloffson knocked down a three-pointer to make it 13-6. Meanwhile, the Warhawk defense held the Falcons scoreless in that span to take the seven-point advantage into the second quarter.
UW-Whitewater’s lead quickly hit the double figure mark with Hildebrandt’s triple widening the gap to 18-8 and it never dipped into single digits the rest of the way.
The Warhawks dominated in the paint outscoring UWRF 36-18. UWW also held a 16-7 sway in fast break points.
Hildebrandt led UW-Whitewater with 17 points on 6-11 from the floor, 2-4 from long range and 3-3 from the free throw line. She added three rebounds, two blocks and a steal. Aleah Grundahl posted 15 points bolstered by a 5-6 performance from the charity stripe. Oloffson rounded out the double-digit scorers for UWW with 10 on 4-5 from the field.
