Raquel Morin hit a jumper at the 10:53 mark in the first half to give Cascade a 14-13 lead, and the T-Birds would not trail again. The visiting Geoducks would trim a 12 point deficit down to four in the closing minutes, but clutch free throw shooting and a timely trey from Kelsey Stone allowed Cascade to hold the Greeners at bay.
