With 6:45 left in the fourth quarter, Courtney Zensen drove from the top left of the arc into the paint where she powered through a close-line from two defenders to still make a left-handed layup.

Led by a quick start on offense and an opportunistic defense, Whitwell grabbed a firm hold on the No. 2 spot in Region 3-1A.
