Hendricks and Shiaya Forte each scored 4 in the third, and the Lady Blazers led 49-14. The teams combined for only 6 points in the final 8 minutes for the final 41-point margin.
Juckett joined Hendricks in double figures with 11 for UHA, followed by Forte with 8.
Lilliauna Powers led the Lady Falcons with 6, and Asia Cabill scored 4.
Both teams return to the court on Tuesday, with UHA traveling to Dawson Springs (3-4) and Fort Campbell going on the road to face Hopkinsville (6-1).
