HOW IT HAPPENED

Autumn Goggin and Rachel Nelson helped Spring Arbor get out to a quick 5-0 lead, but Indiana Kokomo responded with eight unanswered points. The host Cougars would not trail again in the half, and take a three point lead, 27-22, into halftime.
SAU struggled from the field in the first half, hitting just 28 percent (6-for-21) of its shots, but the Cougars would begin to heat up.
Trailing by five early in the third quarter, the Cougars used a 7-0 run to grab their first lead since the game's opening minutes. Back-to-back layups by Karly Bender and Lindsey Lehman trimmed the deficit to one, and Aimee Konkel capped the scoring spurt with a three-pointer to put SAU on top 33-31. Indiana Kokomo would come back to tie the score late in the period, but Spring Arbor regained the lead on a bucket from Townsley just before the buzzer.
Holding a slim 39-37 advantage to begin the fourth quarter, Townsley would score four quick points to give the Cougars a lead they would not surrender. A 12-4 run midway through the period would put SAU comfortably in front, and Townsley would seal the victory making five free throws down the stretch.
Konkel joined Townsley in double figure scoring with 11 points. Rachel Driesenga hauled in a team-high 10 rebounds.
After the slow shooting start, Spring Arbor hit 57 percent (13-for-23) of its second half shots while limited Indiana Kokomo to 32 percent (8-for-25) over the final two periods.
SAU was out-rebounded 34-27 on the night, but made up for the disparity by getting to the free throw line. The Cougars were 20-for-27 from the charity stripe while Indiana Kokomo was just 3-for-5.
