International Falls, Minn. - Three days after it lost its first division game of the season, the Northland women's basketball team got back on track with a dominant 95-39 win over Minnesota North College-Rainy River. 

The Pioneers were relentless in the opening half. They scored five seconds into the first quarter with an Emma Osborn jumper. The Voyageurs tied the score with a Cara Polk bucket 18 seconds later, and the Pioneers took the lead for good with a Riley Mooney bucket on the other end. 

The Pioneers built a 29-9 lead through one quarter of play and the score was 52-15 at the half. 

The Pioneers backed off a little in the second half, but they still outscored the Voyageurs in both the third and fourth quarters, with a 20-13 edge in the third and 13-11 in the fourth. 

Seven Pioneers finished in double figures, led by 16 points each from Chloe Kuznia and Emma Osborn. Both players had big days from beyond the arc, with Kuznia draining five three-pointers and Osborn with four. 

Also reaching double figures for the Pioneers were Riley Mooney, 14, Lynelle Charnoski, 13, Lily Bayne, 12, Ashley Gereau, 11, and Shavonda Bender, 10. 

Up next: On Wednesday, the Pioneers return to their home court for the first time since Jan. 7 with a 5:30 p.m. game against Sisseton Whapeton College.
