Cedarville did most of its damage near the hoop, scoring 44 of its 79 points in the paint, and grabbed 48 team rebounds en route to a big victory.
Three other Lady Jackets joined Brittenham in double figures. Forwards Kayla Linkous, a senior, and Emily Williams, a sophomore, had 14 and 11 points, respectively. Sophomore center Breanne Watterworth also scored 11 and added eight rebounds. Sophomore guard Abby Wolford led the team with six assists.
