They scored 30 points in the second and third quarters each, running away with the 105-69 victory. The NAIA’s top three-point shooting team continued to shoot the ball at an unbelievable clip, making 50 percent on Saturday night (12-for-24). The combo of guards Maya Ah You-Dias and Payton Parrish continued to dominate the weekend on Saturday night. After each recording over 20 points on Friday, Ah You Dias put up a team-high 28 points while Parrish scored 25.
