Hankwitz had six of her 15 in the period.

Avery Carlson took over for Tech in the second. The Havre native scored eight points and dished out three assists in the period to send the Diggers into the half with a 46-22 advantage. Carlson finished her night with nine points and five assists.

Haber added 10 points in the second half to help Montana Tech extend its lead as the Orediggers rolled to victory.
