Russell hung tough with heavily favored LCA for a quarter, trailing only 12-9.
But the Lady Knights went on a 21-8 tear in the second quarteer to built a 33-17 halftime lead and never looked back.
Kayla Parsley collected 15 points and seven rebounds and Babrielle Cassity had four points and seven rebounds. Arden Gross scored eight for Russell (8-9).
LCA placed four in double figures, led by Sarah Beth Barnette with 18 points. Rachel Cox scored 15, and Kateiln Bundy and Kelly Rinehart 10 apiece.
