Defending their home floor for the second time in the tournament, the Lady Macks (22-3, 12-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind by two possessions early, but only allowed 6 points for the rest of the half as the Lancers (9-12, 6-8 Small Dairyland) were stymied by McDonell's relentless defense.
In the second, the Lady Macks continued to push the pace on both ends of the floor, cruising to a Regional Final appearance for the second consecutive season.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard Lauryn Deetz continued her torrid start to the postseason, pouring in a game-high 27 points, while junior guard Marley Hughes hit four key threes and ended with 16.
