Windom 18-22 = 40

Edgerton battled back in the second half, but RRC was able to do enough damage from the free throw line late to preserve the victory.
Sondra Rindfleisch led the Falcons with 16 points. Lilly Stavnes and Karli Arkell each scored 13 points in the win.
With the victory, RRC advances to face top-seeded Tracy-Milroy-Balaton Tuesday night in Worthington, beginning at 6 p.m.
