Mary Cotter hit an early three for the Wolves, but the Hawks responded with 10 straight points to take the lead. Lillian Mullen hit a jumper from the top of the key to stop the Hilbert run. Scoring picked up for the Wolves. An old-fashioned three-point play for Mullen tied the game in the final minute. Katie Deatherage (Canandaigua, N.Y. / Marcus Whitman) got an offensive rebound and found Mullen for a straightaway three at the buzzer to give the Wolves a 20-16 lead after the first.

The Wolves took control of the game in the second quarter. Keuka College held Hilbert to 0-17 shooting from the floor. The lone point for the Hawks was a free throw four minutes before halftime. The Wolves hit a pair of threes to pace the attack as they outscored Hilbert 12-1 in the frame to lead 32-17 at the half.

Keuka College continued to roll in the second half. They held their lead throughout. In the final two minutes of the frame, a three by Sophia Babcock (Oswego, N.Y. / Oswego) pushed the margin to 22. She followed with a layup and Mary Cotter had a basket as well as the small 7-0 run gave Keuka a 49-23 lead, their largest of the game.

Keuka saw the game out in a low-scoring fourth quarter. The Hawks outscored Keuka 9-5 in the frame. Keuka's lone field goal was a corner three by Sydney Bateman (Edmeston, N.Y. / Edmeston), but the Wolves had the game in hand. Keuka College defeated Hilbert 54-32 for their third win of the season.
