Fouls for both teams were much less in the second half as the Hawks extended their lead, besting Plains 63-17 at the end of the third quarter. "Plains came out and played very hard," Coach Chadd Laws said. "Our girls responded to that real well."

Ellie Baxter led the Hawks scoring with 24 points, going two-for-three past the three-point line, adding six steals, six rebounds and two blocks. Sophomore Chesney Lowe added 16 points and five assists, Natalie Roberts had 13 points and Maliyah LeCoure 10 points. It was an aggressive game and both teams played hard and fast basketball.
