Another three by ReQua boosted the Lady Eagles lead to 12, 23-11, midway through the third period.

Kendall countered with a layup by Browe and a three by Arellano to go back up by 10, 28-18, at the three-quarter mark.

The Lady Eagles then finally broke the game open by opening the final period with an 8-2 run to extend the lead to 16 at 36-20. Layups by Browe and Reis followed by a three by Arellano keyed that uprising.

Kendall went on to lead by as many as 19, 42-23, after back-to-back layups by Browe and Arellano.
