HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST PRATT

Carly Coleman and Julia Pohl dominated the boards early, while the perimeter attack hit 3-of-4 from three. Pratt struggled offensively, scoring just five points.

- Immaculata came out of halftime energized, extending their lead with a balanced mix of inside and outside scoring.
