Woodgrove kept the pressure on in the fourth quarter behind the steady play of point guard Mya Bundick, who made clutch play after clutch play throughout the night. Bundick finished with a game-high 18 points, while teammate May Marsh added 13.

Hayfield’s balanced scoring and strong rebounding ultimately proved to be the difference as the Hawks closed out the win.
