The Orange and Blue took an early lead by forcing seven turnovers in the first quarter and holding the Greyhounds to 2-of-9. The Bison were 7-of-16 in the first quarter. This solid opening quarter gave the Bison the early lead they needed to help secure the game.

Senior Marly Walls said, “I am super proud of the way our team is playing right now. The bench stepped up big in this game when we needed them to, and it just shows how well rounded we are. Our chemistry is great, and everything seems to be clicking. We are excited to keep working and improving.”
