Roehm praised the play of her senior leader.

Sophomore Myla Talladay built on a strong effort Tuesday.
"Myla Talladay had an awesome outing. She was super active on the glass at both ends of the floor and just got us extra possessions. Then you add in an and one and two 3s and she really made a difference in every aspect of the game," Roehm said.
Backus and Powell continued to excel for Saline.
"Harper continues to be crazy efficient from the floor and has really turned up her rebounding. Her double-double was important tonight," Roehm said. "Halle Powell continued to stuff the stat sheet and was special at the defensive end. She was steady and in control of the entire game. I thought she pushed the ball in transition really well and really ignited our offense in that way."
