Hannah Briskey led the Golden Eagles in scoring with 11 points, adding six rebounds in just 24 minutes of action. Her presence inside helped LCCC compete in the paint, where the Golden Eagles scored 18 points against a tough CWC interior defense.

Off the bench, Alicia Trujillo delivered a strong performance, contributing 10 points on an efficient shooting night, including 2-of-3 from three-point range. Irelynd Barnes also knocked down two three-pointers, finishing with six points and four rebounds, giving LCCC valuable perimeter production.
