BENTONVILL­E 63, BENTONVILL­E WEST 50

Bentonvill­e started the second half with a 13-2 run to pull away from West, and Olivia Rustad made it stand as the Lady Tigers claim their 20th win of the season inside Wolverine Arena.

The Lady Tigers (20-5, 9-2) used the outburst to stretch a seven-point lead into a 41-23 cushion after an Ella Campbell 3-pointer — one of 13 Bentonvill­e hit during the game — with 3:29 left in the third quarter.

Bentonvill­e led 47- 30 after three quarters, but West (8-16, 1-10) closed the gap to 50- 42 on a Maysa Willis 3-pointer with 4:32 left to play. Rustad, however, answered with three of her six 3-pointers during the final 4 minutes to keep the Lady Wolverines out of reach.
