It was a tightly contested game throughout, with the Lady Cougars coming out on top 49 to 43. Leading the way was Morgan Bridgeforth with 12 points and Emery Forko with a career high nine points. Teagan Purcell, Kyla Wood and Keira Dietelbaum each had five points while Maria Puniello chipped in seven and Shea Brochu had six. The Lady Cougars were excellent in the final stages of the game, holding the ball and forcing the Lady Falcons to foul. Puniello and Brochu sank a couple key free throws to seal the game.
