Monroe (0-3) and Milton entered the fourth quarter tied at 42. The Cheesemakers took a short-lived 44-42 lead. Blumer scored 19 of the Red Hawks' points in the second half. She scored 10 of her team's points in the fourth quarter when the Red Hawks outscored the Cheesemakers 14-3.
"We knew coming in that she was the one we had to stop," Monroe coach Sam Mathiason said. "We didn't do a good enough job stopping and containing her."

It was a five-point game with 1 minute, 13 seconds left.
"We had to pressure the ball and foul and they scored six points," Mathiason said.
