The Yellowjackets outscored the Wildcats, 18-2, in that second quarter.

Fellow sophomore Audrey Rupp and junior Sydney Perry had nine each for Windsor, and Perry had 21 rebounds. Junior Tanner Drury led WRV with 14.

“With our full court pressure, we gave them some problems, and we were able to get some transition buckets,” Yellowjackets coach Kabray Rockwood said. “I didn’t expect (a blowout), but obviously happy with the result.”

Windsor (4-2) travels to Springfield on Monday, while White River Valley (2-2) hosts Green Mountain on Tuesday.
