Evanda Redwood had a dazzling first half. She scored 19 points, including three baskets from behind the arc, in the first 20 minutes. Redwood ended her night with a game-high 25 points. 

FM was shooting well and starting plays with fast breakouts. They built a 16-4 lead, but then their offense stalled for a bit. The Lady Generals closed the gap to just 21-17 midway through the opening half. FM then got their offense flying again.
