Trailing by 14, 34-20, at the three-quarter mark, Holley came rallying back to within four by outscoring Lyndonville 10-0 over the fist six minutes of the final period. Two threes by Olivia Radford highlighted that surge which pulled the Lady Hawks to within 34-30.

However, Lyndonville weathered the storm as two free throws by Savannah Poler along with one each by Ella Lewis, Kaylee Nesbitt and Karlee Rounds over the final 1:35 finally put a lock on the victory as the Lady Tigers improve to 6-6 on the season.

Radford shared game high honors for Holley with 15 as Tatum Gagne had 7, Tia Hofforth 5, Milla Steenholdt 2 and Jade Hofforth 1.

Lyndonville jumped out to a 10-2 first quarter lead as Dillenbeck netted 6 in the early going on two jumpers and a layup off a steal.

The Lady Tigers increased their lead to 14, 21-7, at the half as Lewis scored 7, including a three, and Rounds 4 in the second period.

Lyndonville maintained a 14 point, 34-20, advantage at the three-quarter mark as Lewis and Dillenbeck both scored 4, Nesbitt 3 and Weldon 2 in the third period. Radford scored 9, including a three, to keep Holley close.
