Caely Kesten was the early spark for Northwest, hitting four of her first five three-point attempts. The graduate student from Denver, CO finished with a game-high 20 points and 6-8 from long range.

Kelsey Fields was dominant inside posting her 12th career double-double. The senior finished with 14 points while collecting 15 rebounds and blocking two shots.
