In addition to the scoring, Hartnett added six rebounds, six assists and didn't turn the ball over in 35 minutes on the court Thursday night.

Emree Zars added 13 points and five rebounds.

Caely Kesten, Northwest's leading scorer on the season, battled foul trouble throughout the game and ended up with 10 points on four-of-nine shooting.
