The Knights trailed the Blue Jays 22-17 at the half. The Blue Jays outscored the Knights 27-17 in the second half by getting the ball inside.
Stein scored eight points in the third quarter and with her 6-foot sister provided a lift for the Blue Jays.
"The twin towers were tough," New Glarus coach Megan Scheele said of the Steins. "They pounded the ball inside."
New Glarus junior Tamara Elzen scored eight points and sophomore McKinley Righter added seven points.
