Kate McConnell and Courtney Storey combined for 30 points as Rogers defeated West in Centerton Arena.

McConnell opened the game with a pair of 3-pointers to give Rogers (10-5, 2-1) a lead it never relinquished and scored 12 of her 16 points in the first half as the Lady Mounties built a 28-19 lead. Storey then scored 11 of her 13 points during a 17-0 run after West (5-10, 0-3) had pulled within 31-29 on Anna Kash's bucket with 3:24 left in the third quarter.

"I thought both of them did what we count on them to do," Rogers coach Preston Early said. "I just love their confidence, and I thought our whole team had a great mindset.

"Winning, period, is hard, and winning on the road is even tougher. Our girls had a good mindset and good attentiveness to detail. If you're going to be a good offensive team, you can't be tentative and hesitate.

Shania Wilson had 16 to lead West, which went more than 8 minutes without a point in the second half and scored only five points over the final 11 minutes.
