Williams hit another 3-pointer and Arden scored 4 points for Ironton in the quarter.
Arden took charge in the third quarter as she hit a 3-pointer, went 3-for-3 at the foul line and scored 10 points while Riley Schreck hit a trifecta and went 2-for-2 at the foul line and Ironton went back in front 43-38.
Harlie Lyons made a pair of triples while Roland hit another 3-pointer and a free throw to remain in striking distance.
But in the fourth quarter, Schreck buried two key 3-pointers, Elli Williams was 4-for-4 at the foul line and Arden scored 6 more points including 2-of-2 at the line to help the Lady Fighting Tigers continue to pull away.
