Lady Jags knock off Helena, 59-15

The Northridge Lady Jags closed out their 2025-2026 regular season home schedule in similar fashion to how they opened it. The home opener was a 30-point win over Homewood, 63-33. The home closer was a 44-point victory over Helena.

The result was 59-15 win to close out the regular season home schedule.

Northridge opened up a 19-point lead over the visiting Lady Huskies in the first quarter, outscoring their opponent 23-4.

The Lady Jags warmed back up in the third, scoring 16. Helena almost got into double digits for the quarter, but only posted nine when the buzzer sounded. Northridge held a 54-15 lead headed into the final stanza. The fourth quarter only saw the ball pass through the net two times, both for the Lady Jags – a 3-pointer from RB Norris and layup from Malia Barrera. That gave Northridge the 59-15 victory.
