The Blue Devils opened up a 5 point first quarter lead before heading to halftime up just two, 28-26. Then, after holding the Red Raiders to just five 3rd quarter points, the Devils would hold on for the 7 point win.

FL1 Sports All-Wayne-Finger Lakes first teamer, junior Heidi Miller, would lead the way with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. Madison Barnett scored 10 points and pitched in with 5 rebounds and 4 steals. Hornell was led by Kira Buxton who scored 22 points.
