It appeared IKM-Manning had regained control late in the 1st quarter as they kept attacking the basket off the press and getting to the free throw line. They reclaimed the lead at 13-12 and began to pull away in the 2nd quarter when the Panthers left Nicole Hanson open from deep. Hanson hit 5-3’s as the Wolves looked like they could run and hide. Payton Beckman hit a runner at the halftime horn from in the lane and the Wolves were up 39-26. Things changed midway through the 3rd when Alexa Ahrenholtz picked up her 4th foul and would sit until about the 3:30 minute mark of the 4th. Panorama fell down quickly by 11 when she left the game but then went on a run outscoring the Wolves 25-9 to go up 49-48 early in the 4th. Their largest lead had been 2 early in the game but they quickly built the lead to 6 and Ahrenholtz came back in. Moments later she fouled out and the Wolves were in trouble. The Panthers forced the Wolves to foul and hit their free throws down the stretch. The Panthers outscored the Wolves 31-20 in the 4th quarter. Lexi Branning was the only offensive threat in the 2nd half as the Panthers didn’t let Hanson get many looks and the rest of the team combined to score 7 points after half.
