The Scotties jumped all over the Storm in the first quarter outscoring them 31-14. They continued to dominate throughout the second and went into the half with a comfortable 65-31 lead.
 
Hot shooting in the third quarter from the Storm helped them chip away at the Scottie lead but only by four points, Highland led 88-58 after three quarters of play.
