Zylak, who was called for two quick fouls, sat for most of the first half as the Tigers took a 35-31 into the break. The sophomore point guard was aggressive offensively throughout the second half, attacking the basket repeatedly as LC began to pull away. She made a driving layup, then a short pull-up jumper before Kaylee Bishop hit a 3-pointer to give LC its biggest lead to that point, at 47-37, with 3:30 left in the the frame. Zylak added two free throws and then knifed into the lane for a contested layup before a basket by Buckley capped a 13-1 run that pushed the advantage to 16 points about two minutes later.

Zylak had 14 second-half points, including 10 in the third, and the Tigers scored 36 of the final 39, holding Richland scoreless in the fourth.

The Bombers made 6 of 11 from the field in the first quarter and it was 17-all going into the second. LC's Anna Reeves had 10 points of her 14 points in the opening frame. Richland was just 6-of-32 shooting, including 0 of 12 in the fourth quarter, the rest of the way.

Gracie Pierce led Richland with 15 points.
