- Location: Max Ziel Gym, Oswego, NY

HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Hawks knotted the game at 4-all after Ashley Schroeder efforts with the ball early in the game and then Macy Kisner went on a 10-point run pulling Hilbert within a bucket with just over three minutes left in the quarter.

- Oswego went on a 12-0 run after the break, and, at 3:46, Hamm's hit broke the Laker scoring trend. Hamm finished a play with a layup and then went 1-for-2 at the foul line to earn all five Hilbert third-quarter points.
- Oswego built a 68-45 advantage just three minutes into the final session. The Hawks trimmed the 23-point margin and capped the come-back effort with a 3-point basketball by Abigail O'Hara with just over four minutes left.
