Giselle Garcia-Nunez was the lone scorer in double figures for the Owls, finishing the game with 24 points and added 10 rebounds for her 12th double-double of the year. Julie Garcia Man had a monstrous night off the glass, posting 17 rebounds – just three boards shy of tying the single-game record Garcia-Nunez set earlier this year.
