Then Kraft went inside to Rachel Goodon for the layup and then Tathis Arredondo picked up her second steal and took it the distance for the layup to make it 9-2.
Hastings was just getting started after the Lancers cut it to three at 11-8. Goodon would connect from the low block followed by a jumper from Alexis Tapia to make it 17-8. After a Lancer bucket, Miriam Miller would bury a three followed by a Bailey Kissinger layup following a steal to make it 22-10. After the teams traded points, Paulk hit another three and then late in the first quarter, Mariyah Avila draind another three to put Hastings up 30-12 after one quarter of play.
