HOW IT HAPPENED
QTR 1 (12-15): Both teams got off to slow starts shooting the ball with UIW going the first five minutes without a field goal. The Cardinals ended up making four of their next eight shots in the quarter to cut the gap to 12-13, but ultimately were down three points by the end of the frame. A. Henry led the team with four points.

QTR 2 (23-33): The Cardinals still couldn't get the lid off the basket in the second frame, allowing HBU to grow its lead to 10 points, 17-27 with 4:49 left to play. UIW brought the lead down to six off one of two made threes in the game by sophomore forward Olivia Noah, but the Huskies ended up leading by 10, once again at the end of the half. Noah led the team with three points in the quarter, Robinson delivered four rebounds as well.

QTR 3 (36-55): HBU smelled blood and grew its lead to 17 points less than two minutes into the second half. The Cardinals got six points from junior forward Lunden Henry but couldn't match the Huskies offensive output.

QTR 4 (52-67): The Cardinals never could bring the game to single-digits again. HBU sweeps the season series, 2-0.
