The Rangers dropped in ten free throws in the final two and a half minutes to end the Rattlers' comeback attempt.
Hannah Wilson led the Rattlers offensively with 18 points. Wilson went 9-18 from the floor in 36 minutes of action. The senior also contributed 13 total rebounds to secure her first double-double of the season.
