The Lady Conquerors committed 21 turnovers in the first half, and the Lady Wildcats used the turnovers to create scoring opportunities for themselves.

Hannah Wenaas got the Wildcats on the board first.

Haley Hoyer, who finished the game with 15 points, also contributed offensively for NDSCS early on.

Groen, Candra Soderman, Alexis Hage and Amanda Schultz all contributed during a 16-0 run by the Lady Wildcats in the first half to give NDSCS a 42-10 lead with 2:20 remaining before half time.

AFLBS went on a 6-0 run to close out the half, but the Lady Wildcats still led 44-20 at the break.

"I told the girls at half time to go out and play as if we were down by twenty points," coach Stein said. "Because I've seen teams let up with a big lead. And we maintained our intensity in the second half."

The Lady Wildcats started the second half with a 12-2 run and put the game away.

NDSCS travels to Minneapolis Community and Technical College Saturday for a game at 1 p.m.
