Junior guard McKendry Kennedy had a career-high 30 points and senior Kaysie Allen had a career high 25 points in the win for the Rebels (7-12 overall, 7-9 Three Rivers).

Kennedy did her damage with the dribble drive and Allen scored the bulk of her points in transition.

“We’re not going to win a heck a lot of games going forward with two people scoring 90 percent of our points,” Southland head coach Dean Bendtsen said. “There’s got to be better distribution, but we’ll take it.”
