Menser and Braylee Marsh combined for 10 in the third to trim the margin to nine with a quarter to play, but Hodge scored six, Boone added four to finish with a game-high 20, and Bristyn Rushing scored all four of her points in the fourth to help the Lady Rockets close out the game.
Crittenden finished 18/20 from the free-throw line, with Boone hitting 10 of 12 and Hodge perfect on six attempts. Hodge joined Boone in double figures with 19 points.
