While Cortney Kumerow was dominating inside, it was freshman, Abbie Reeves that gave the Warhawks some breathing room five minutes into the second half.
With the game tied at 47 Reeves hit back-to-back-back three pointers on three consecutive trips down the floor to give the Hawks a 56-47 advantage. Whitewater would not give up the lead the rest of the night.
The freshman from Westosha Central High School finished with a career, high 15 points, 13 coming in the second half. Reeves finished the game 3 of 5 from behind the arc and 4 of 4 from the free throw line.
