A senior from Springfield, Perdue hit a 3-pointer to start the scoring in a tournament semifinal game that tipped off at noon at Indiana Farmers Coliseum.
She missed a long trey attempt at the end of the first quarter, but that was just about the only thing that didn’t go her way in the first 10 minutes.
Perdue was 4 for 5 from the floor and scored nine points with an assist, a block and a steal in 11 minutes in the first quarter and kept it on in the second.
Her fifth basket gave CSU a 38-15 lead and led to Wright State coach Kari Hoffman calling timeout with 8:11 left in the second quarter, but Perdue picked off a pass on the ensuing possession and went the other way for a layup.
Hutchison scored seven points during a 13-2 Wright State run to get the Raiders within 16, but a pair of CSU baskets restored a 20-point advantage the Vikings (29-4) took into the locker room at halftime.
They outscored Wright State 25-7 in the third quarter and led by as many as 38 in the second half.
