Brittany Mason chipped in five points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals, while Jasmine Johnson added nine points and three boards.
The Cougar bench also enjoyed a productive night, as Allie Henderson posted four points and a career-high nine rebounds and Mae Woods added a bucket and a season-best eight boards.
