Immaculate Heart didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Temple City in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, but they still walked away with a 50-46 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Rams' Kristi Huynh, who went 9-for-15 on her way to 26 points and six boards.
