Ariel Wilson spearheaded Belhaven's offensive attack, shooting over 56 percent from the field (13-23) and 50 percent from three-point range. Wilson's 33-point outing tied her previous career high, and her nine rebounds landed her just shy of her second double-double on the young season.
 
"When a player is in the zone, you have to get her the ball. She was hitting shots from everywhere, which opened up the floor for other players," said Calder.

After leading at the half by only six points, the Blazers continued to extend their lead to a comfortable 10-plus point margin throughout the second half.
