WESTERVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- Alexis Rogers scored 18 points and third-ranked West Chester Lakota West dominated the second and third quarters to beat No. 1 Dublin Coffman 62-48 and win a Division I regional championship on Saturday.

Quinessa Johnson added 11 points and Amber Gray had 10 for Lakota (25-1), which outscored the Shamrocks 30-17 in the middle two quarters.

Sam Mackay had 19 points and Becca Bornhorst 11 for Coffman (25-1).

Two free throws by Bornhorst brought Coffman to 35-28 with 3:11 left in the third quarter, but Lakota scored the next eight points -- a 3-pointer by Stephanie Whitenack, a layup by Rogers and another Whitenack 3-pointer.

The lead never dropped below eight points again.

Lakota West will meet Youngstown Boardman (19-7) in a state semifinal at 6 p.m. Friday at Ohio State's Value City Arena.
