"All the girls played really well tonight and did an excellent job of being unselfish and passing the ball to open teammates," said head coach Darrell Morris. "It was good to get our younger girls lots of experience and they really stepped up and kept things running smoothly, while our older girls showed a lot of leadership on the floor and bench."

Julia Smith had 14 points and Emma Poirier had six points. Cathryn Brought, Jaime Palmer, Kayla Mengee, and Liza Manning all added four points each. Lauren Singer added three points and four rebounds, while Heidi Zuchowski, Caitlyn Callahan, Karinthia Witmer, and Dani Hunt each added two points each.

The B team won 23-16 to improve to 5-3-1. Bri Tuttle, Emma Palmer, and Ruby Stocks all had four points each. Tiana Lecker added three points and Luna Alexander, Amanda Gehman, Caitlyn Callahan, and Georgia Macensky each chipped in with two points each.

With the win, the Lady Hornets improve to 16-4. The team will be back in action on Wednesday, April 1 as they travel to Mansfield.
