A total of nine 3-pointers connected, while Tenahaβs Ashlee Ray had four in the first half and finished with a team-high 20 points. New Summerfield got four first-half treys from Ramie Weaver and took a 31-24 lead at halftime.

New Summerfield jumped out to a 10-3 lead early when Weaver swished the first of her four opening-half treys.
Simone Derrett of New Summerfield scored five of her 15 points in the third period as the Lady Hornets held a 44-35 cushion with one quarter to play.
The Lady Hornets sealed the game with eight free throws and a Melendez layup.
