Interview with Janna Holley and Sara Mills

The Regals forced George Fox into 29 turnovers, committing only 14 of their own, and scored 32 points off turnovers. Cal Lutheran scored 32 points in the paint, 16 fastbreak points and 33 bench points.

It was almost a wire-to-wire win for the Regals. Down 3-2, Cal Lutheran scored 18 straight points and had a 20-3 lead with 2:26 left in the quarter. The defense continued to dominate, which turned into good offense, as Winton's three at the buzzer put the Regals up 20-6 after the first quarter.
