She was joined by Rusne Augustinaite, who also scored 16 points, knocking down four three-pointers. The Lady Tigers’ frontcourt controlled the glass, out-rebounding American and grabbing 15 offensive boards, which led to numerous second-chance opportunities. Hadley Periman matched Moore’s rebounding effort with 10 boards to go with eight points.

For American, Molly Driscoll was the lone player to reach double figures, finishing with 13 points. Lexi Salazar added nine points, all from three-point range.
