Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 20th, while the Bluejays are ranked 167th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

That was a full 35.7% of Norton's points, marking the seventh time in a row she's had more than a third of the team's points. Leah Clark was another key player, putting up six points along with six rebounds and four steals.
