Madilyn Winterton led the way with 27 points, five assists and seven steals. Maddie Caron had 24 points and seven boards and Maggie Hoover added 10 points and five assists. Botetourt shot 61 percent from the floor for the game and had 21 steals as a team.

Senior Abby Kingery scored a career-high 22 points on nine-for-nine shooting and had seven rebounds. Senior Winterton had 17 points and six assists and Caron, also a senior, scored 13 points and had eight rebounds.
