Moehrle-Druffel, who entered the tournament with a 19-point scoring average, missed all six of her field-goal attempts in the first half.

Kelsey Moser and Ashley Nygreen each chipped in eight points for the Wildcats (23-3).

Colton will face either Sunnyside Christian or Garfield-Palouse in Saturday's 9 p.m. championship game.

Megan Howerton paced the Indians (21-5) with nine points.
