Senior Sadie Gray provided a spark with eight of her game-high 16 points in the second quarter with Autumn Boone and Breck Brewer added four points each as North Delta took a slim 23-21 advantage at intermission.

North Delta began to pull away as the second half got underway as they held Delta to four points in the third quarter while leading 34-25 after three quarters. The Green Wave shot 23-of-55 from the floor and 7-of-12 at the free throw line. 

Shelby Boone followed Gray in the scoring column with 12 points while Brewer provided eight.
