Kenny Brooks and the Wildcats showcased their prowess, ultimately securing a 93-78 victory. Ajsa Sivka emerged as the standout player, leading the team with a remarkable display of skills. Sivka contributed 32 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, demonstrating her all-around contribution to the team's success.

Notably, she made 8-of-12 three-point shots, tying a school record for the most made threes in a game. The Wildcats capitalized on their early three-point shooting, building a 12-point halftime lead. In the second half, they maintained their momentum, making critical shots when the situation demanded.
