Even when its leading scorer isn't putting up big numbers, Iowa City Regina still has enough talent to handle whatever comes its way.

 

   The top-ranked and unbeaten Regals got double-figure scoring from three players and pulled away late for a 67-54 victory over Logan-Magnolia in the opening game of the Class 2A tournament.

 

   Regina's top scorer, junior guard Mary Crompton, didn't get her second basket of the game until hitting a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2:13 left in the third quarter. But that wasn't a problem for the Regals.

 

   They led by eight before Crompton's shot, which started a 15-4 run that put it out of reach.

 

   Crompton took only seven shots and finished with 15 points. Sophomore Alex Wiese led Regina with 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Sarah Lehman, the only senior who starts, scored 14 on 5-for-8 shooting.

 

   Regina shot 61.5 percent, which offset Logan-Magnolia's 25-15 rebounding advantage. The Regals also came up with 11 steals, four by Crompton.

 

   Logan-Magnolia reached the state tournament for the first team and finishes with a 21-4 record. The Panthers did it with a starting lineup of four juniors and a freshman, so they'll have everyone back next season.

 

   Kylan Straight led Logan-Magnolia with 22 points and eight rebounds. Kenzie Cunard added 13 points for the Panthers, who stayed within striking distance until that late Regina run.

 

   Regina is headed to the semifinals for the second straight year. They'll take a 26-0 record into a game at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
