A strong 4th quarter by the Lower Columbia women's basketball team turned a close game into a big Red Devil victory.
The Devils outscored Centralia 27-14 in the final stanza to take a 71-56 victory over the Blazers.
It was not easy.Â
The Blazers, playing without leading scorer Kylie Smith, stayed right with the Devils as they were down by just two points after three.

Madison Crews also hit some big shots as she ended up with 16 points, five rebounds and four assists.
Hayley Niles was three blocks away from a triple-double. She had 11 points, 13 rebounds and seven blocked shots. LCC had 13 blocks as a team.
