Junior Peyton Steinman (Pittsfield, Mass.) scored 20 points in 25 minutes, with senior Sara Messler (Durham, N.H.) scoring 10 points and adding nine rebounds.

Tention fueled the Hawks’ early dominance, scoring 10 of his team’s first 21 points to build a commanding 17-point advantage before the midway point of the opening half. Assumption responded to cut the Hawks advantage to eight, but an Arbuckle trey with 10:35 to go in the first created a double-digit lead that held up throughout regulation.
