The Jayhawks fought back a bit in the second 10-minute stanza, winning that frame 11-10. JCC cut the deficit down to single-digits at one point, a three from Deziree Mount (Hornell, NY / Hornell HS) made the game 21-13 for Garrett late in the half before the Jayhawks entered the break down 25-15.

The Lakers opened up the second half once again filling the bucket and pushing the advantage back to 15 at 31-16.

Jamestown CC clawed back to within five on a Stewart (Bethlehem, PA / Freedom HS) three made it a 31-26 ball game.

The Jayhawks closed within four late in the third on a bucket from Alexandria Duncan (Cleveland, OH / Cleveland Heights HS), but Garrett scored the next 13 points to put this game on ice.
