Aubrey Heuton hit the first of her three’s, pulling Kuemper within 7-4. A Lauren Boell bucket kept Kuemper within three late in the 1st quarter and it looked like Kuemper gained momentum at the buzzer, when Catherine Mayhall hit a three that would have made it 12-9 but it came just after the horn and Kuemper was down 12-6 heading to the 2nd quarter.
