age. Her 1000th career point came at the free-throw line in the second half.
"I'm really excited for Krysten. I'm proud of her. Everyone on the bench had a countdown, they knew when it was. Everyone wanted to be the one that threw it to her. Good for her to get it on the free-throw line," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
In the first half, the layhawks started out getting easy layups on the inside. Sophomore guard Monica Engelman really sparked the team when she had two big three-point shots fall late in the first half.

the second half.
"I thought we made good decisions. If you are going to shoot 62 percent, you are either uncontested with people that can make shots in where they are shooting it or either contested or uncontested in the lane in traffic. You do a good job of executing some quick hits against the zone, you get some screening action to get Carolyn and Kristen some balls," Henrickson said.
