The Hornets took a 14-10 lead after the first quarter led by Terricka Glisson's 6 points. The second quarter started out slow with neither team able to get a bucket and the score stuck at 20-15 for a little over three minutes in favor of the host team. Broome was able to get some separation in the latter part of the quarter and go into the half with a 32-21 advantage. The Hornets came out strong in the third, outscoring the Hawks 25-16 despite 10 points from Mohawk's Lonnie Wadsworth and headed into the last quarter up 57-37. Mohawk was able to close the gap in the last quarter but never came closer than the final 13 point margin.
Dana Stepp had a huge night for Broome, notching a triple-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists to go along with her 6 steals. Brooke Ladd had a big night as well, posting a double-double with 15 points and 12 boards to go with her 3 steals.
