Kelso pressed hard and hopped up to a 19-point halftime lead en route a comfortable league win.
“We struggled with their press, plain and simple,” Thunder coach Dave McIntosh said. “Threw the ball away, went right into their traps, and that’s what killed us.”
MV’s Jenna Carlisle scored 19 of game-high 21 points in the second half — 13 in the third quarter — as the Thunder cut the deficit to 12.
But Kelso hung on and coasted, paced by Erin Tack’s 13 points.
