Nahlia Douglas and Mackenzie Schumaker led the Wolverines with 16 points apiece. Schumaker scored 7 during a 16-4 third quarter while Douglas added 7 during a 14-8 fourth quarter.
“They 16 came really fast,” Westfield head coach Kyle Petersen said of the Wolverines’ third quarter. “We kept the pressure on in the fourth quarter as well.”

“I haven’t personally watched them yet. I’ve collected the film and I’ve put it together,” Petersen said. “I’m told they are great defensively, and their defense leads to scoring. I would say they are very similar to us.”
Olivia Wolfe had six steals and three assists; Sophia Wolfe had six assists and six rebounds; Douglas had six rebounds: and Schumaker had five steals Saturday.
Quinn Scott had 9 points, five rebounds and four steals; Emma Rhinehart had 9 points and three assists; and Ali Haynes grabbed 10 rebounds for the Panthers.
