Zylak added two free throws and then knifed into the lane for a contested layup before a basket by Buckley capped a 13-1 run that pushed the advantage to 16 points about two minutes later.

Zylak had 14 second-half points – including 10 in the third – and the Tigers scored 36 of the final 39, holding Richland scoreless in the fourth.

The Bombers made 6 of 11 from the field in the first quarter and it was 17-all going into the second. LC’s Anna Reeves had 10 points of her 14 points in the opening frame. Richland was just 6-of-32 shooting, including 0 of 12 in the fourth quarter, the rest of the way.
