three-point range and scored 23 points to lead four starters in

heading into the halftime with a 50-42 lead.
The Warriors shot 62.5 percent (20-32) in the second half and
built their lead up to 19 points before Rockford managed to cut the

countered with a key three-pointer on the Warriors' next possession
to build the lead back up to nine points as the Regents would get
no closer.
