After a 16-13 first period, Kennewick (24-2) outscored the Storm 42-18 the rest of the way. Their defense forced 27 Skyview turnovers, leading to 20 Lions points, and held Skyview to 29 percent field goal shooting (12 of 41).

Senior guard Autumn Fielding led the Lions with 18 points, junior guard Leilani Mitchell added 14, and junior center Lindsay Macicoba added 12.

Tiffanie Ward led Skyview (22-6) with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
