"We worked on some stuff defensively, throwing out some different defensive looks," said West coach Andy Fishman, whose team is ranked third in the state.
West was led by senior Amber Gray's 26 points.
"Defensively and on the offensive and defensive glass, I think Amber came out and went to the glass," Fishman said. "Her and Alexis (Rogers) both had four offensive rebounds."
Rogers added 16 points and Caitlin Dombart dished out five assists.
"I think our guards put excellent pressure on the ball," Fishman said.
