A jumper by Rebekah Hoffee with 11 seconds remaining did rally Lyndonville back to within two at 44-42 but the Lady Tigers could get no closer.

Oakfield-Alabama answered with two clutch free throws by Hannah LaGrou to put a lock on the win. In fact, the Lady Hornets final eight points came from the free throw line.

Schlagehauf finished with a game high 18 points, 13 of which came in the decisive final stanza, and LaGrou netted 10.
