"We were pretty balanced today," head coach Lisa Carlsen said. "JT (Turpel) came out and looked great. She was in a bit of foul trouble which affected her minutes, but she needed a game like this."

Each team is now 6-4. Lewis is next in action on Dec. 28, in a non-conference contest at Upper Iowa.
