"I think we played pretty well today," said senior Liz Downie. "We're falling into our individual roles better and better with each game. And Megan Porta just worked really, really well inside."
Megan Felthous added 15 points, six rebounds and five assists while Bailey Wynn put in 10 points for the Tigers, who outscored the Bears 30-18 in the second half.
