Trailing 12-10, Lyndonville moved on top to stay by closing the opening period with a 10-0 run. A three by Poler ignited that uprising which also included a three by Dillenbeck and layups off steals by Poler and Winiecki as the Tigers grabbed a 20-12 lead they never relinquished.

Lyndonville upped the lead to 14, 33-19, at the half, a second quarter capped off by a three by Dillenbeck who had a total of nine in the period.

The Tigers then pulled away to a 24 point, 50-26, advantage after a big 17-7 third period scoring edge which included a three and a layup off a steal by Dillenbeck and a rebound bucket and a jumper by Winiecki.

Holley did put together a 13-0 run in the final period, including seven by Ostrom, but the Hawks could get no closer than 12 at 53-41.

The Tigers improve to 2-1 and the Hawks slips to 1-3.
