The entire game, the game was close, the Highlanders only up 29-22 at half. By the end of the game, the Highlanders managed to secure the game, solidifying their win with an eight point lead.

Per usual, senior captain Elizabeth Dufrane lead the team to success, scoring 25 points. The girl’s won 63-55, earning themselves the opportunity to play in the Regional Semi Finals on Feb. 27 at Madison
