Wayne was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Springfield apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in January.
When it comes to explaining why Wayne lost, one person who can't be blamed is Imani Frazier. Despite the final result, she scored 15 points along with five rebounds. Those 15 points set a new season-high mark for her.
