Junior Mariyah Avila scored the first two baskets for Hastings, then after a three-pointer by junior Alyssa Baker made it 7-2, freshman Ann Bose made one of two at the line and drilled a three to go up 11-2 with 4:50 left in the first. Baker concluded the 13-2 start with a layup.
Leading 13-4, Bose drove and scored. Hastings pressed and senior Kiernan Paulk stole the ball, finding sophomore Bailey Kissinger for the layup to go up 17-4. They led by as much as 16 in the quarter at 22-6 when freshman Mikah O'Neill scored inside. The Lancers were able to get within 14 at the end of the quarter.
Junior Macy Bryant opened the quarter with a layup and Kissinger and sophomore Rachel Goodon later scored in close to go up 28-10 with 7:43 left in the half. Paulk and freshman Adyson Mlnarik knocked down threes to put Hastings up 20.
Mount Marty went on a bit of a run in the last half of the quarter, getting as close as 13 with two minutes left. Kissinger and O'Neill each made a free throw to put Hastings up 41-26 at halftime.
