Jordan Dole scored 22 points as Kelso hit 23 of 28 from the free throw line to seal a non-league win.
“It was a foul fest,” Ridgefield coach Tom Klutz said. “There were 45 fouls called on the two teams. It really took the rhythm out of the game. But in the end, they did a better job of taking care of the ball. We had 18 turnovers.”
Ridgefield got with two points with about three minutes to play, but then the Spudders had to foul and Kelso hit its free throws.
Kylie Greenwald led Ridgefield with 10 points and Amy Bishop-Smith had nine rebounds.
