HAVRE, Mont.- Paige Wasson's 32-points, as well as a team effort of 22 offensive rebounds, led #18 Rocky Women's Basketball to a win over (RV) MSU-Northern Saturday evening.

Paige Wasson set the pace early, hitting all four of her three-point attempts for 12 points in the first quarter, setting the Battlin' Bears up with a 28-25 lead heading into the second quarter. 

Offensive momentum continued into the second quarter, with neither team creating a lead larger than four. Jordan Labrador-Hallett would sink a jumper in the final seconds to tie the game at 44-44 going into halftime. 

The Battlin' Bears would finally be the first to create separation in the final five minutes of the third quarter, closing the quarter on a 15-0 run, capped off by an offensive rebound and put back by Paige Wasson to end the quarter with a 12-point advantage. 

A 7-0 run early in the fourth quarter would help solidify Rocky's lead, extending a lead as large as 17 points on their way to a road victory over (RV) MSU-Northern.
