"It feels really humbling," said Petermann. "I was so comfortable. My teammates got me open and I just knocked down the shots. There were a number of shots available and my teammates did a great job getting the ball to me. I scored 38 points in a high school playoff game that I will never forget."

"Overall we did some nice things tonight," said head coach Lori Fish. "It was good to get the rust out and I was pleased with how we shot the ball. It was good to go against competition and it will help us going into the weekend. We came back from the break mentally and physically ready to play."

"It was special to watch Lexy tonight. She was outstanding and it seemed so effortless on her part. It was great to be a part of it and it couldn't have happened to a better player. She is such a team player and it was fun watching her go to work and have the team feeding off of her."
