The Hornets found themselves in trouble early as Sayre jumped out to a 19-3 1st quarter lead, and they were never able to get any offense going until it was too late.

"We had a very disappointing performance tonight," said head coach Mary Grab. "Their quickness and shooting accuracy offensively combined with terrific man defense with great help side defense kept us out of our game on both ends of the court."

Senior Guard Mackenzie Marple led the Lady Hornets with 8 points, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 4 rebounds. Senior Kimberly Acorn pitched in 6 points, 1 assist and 2 steals, and Senior Hannah Zuchowski added 4 points and 2 rebounds.
