Leading the way in the easy win was Brenna Elliott with 12 points. Baylee Henry followed with six points, while Bridget Smith and Bailey Walker each scored two points. Getting on the scoring chart with a made free throw were Teagan Liske and Melissa Martinez. Henry handed out four assists to lead the Wallace team. Liske and Katie Smoot were credited with one assist apiece.
Smoot pulled down a team-high five rebounds. Elliott, Henry, and Kiera Kiosef followed by grabbing thtee boards apiece. Smith and Annabelle Maxwell finished with a pair of rebounds, while Walker, Addison Ross, and Martinez each had one rebound in the contest.
