Box Score BILLINGS, Mont. – The Oklahoma City Stars did something no team has done all season against the LCSC women's basketball team – shoot over 50 percent from the field.
 
The Stars defeated the Warriors 73-66 in the NAIA National Championship game shooting 52 percent from the floor.
 
The previous high this season the Warriors allowed was when Montana Western shot 48 percent back in early January.
 
Caelyn Orlandi ended the season with a career-high 13 assists to go along with 15 points. Lauren Johnson scored 13 points for the only two Warriors in double figures. All eight players who entered the game scored at least two points.
 
LCSC ended the season with a school-record 35 wins and just two losses. The Stars win their ninth title and improved to 34-2.
 
Johnson started the scoring of the night with three of her 13 points 20 seconds into the contest. The Stars would take the lead shortly after and extend it to 14-7. Orlandi made a jumper to kick-start an 8-0 run as the Warriors reclaimed the lead. Oklahoma City would answer in the next possession to retake the lead for good the rest of the way. The Stars ended the first quarter up 20-15 over the Warriors.
 
The Stars opened the second with a bang, a triple by Daniela Galindo for an 8-point Oklahoma City lead. Consecutive treys from Johnson and Orlandi brought the deficit back down to two points. But again after the Warriors closed in, the Stars would find separation heading to the locker room with a 38-29 halftime lead.
 
After Oklahoma City would increase their lead to double-digits, the Warriors would respond right after. Trailing by 10 with 4:28 left in the third, LCSC went on a 9-3 run to close the score within four. Risinger scored five of the nine points. She ended with those five points on the night with six rebounds.
 
Trailing 59-53, Hailey Turner scored the first points of the fourth for the Warriors to trim the deficit to four. The Stars again grew their lead by as much as eight points. With their backs to the wall, the Warriors made one last effort to overtake the Stars.
 
Jossilyn Blackman hit a pair of free throws to bring it back down to six. A jumper by Orlandi brought LCSC within four as Blackman hit another jumper to cut the deficit to three. But it was too little too late and the Stars made crucial free throws down the stretch and forced hard shots from LCSC to preserve the title.
