Sigler opened the scoring with a 3-pointer to give Prairie a lead they
never surrendered. She added a short baseline shot and another 3-pointer
as Prairie jumped out to an 11-2 lead.

MeShel Rad had a pair of baskets in that run and Callie Mader and Schaeffer each scored a basket. Schaeffer’s came after escaping from a double-team Grangeville had on her along the sideline.

Grangeville was able to cut the lead down to 10 in the third quarter at 35-25 but Prairie closed out the quarter with an 8 straight points and scored the first 4 of the fourth quarter to complete a 12-0 run to give Prairie their biggest lead at 46-25.
