Maybe the best match-up of the night was Lennox vs St. Thomas More. These two programs are heavily favorite to win it all. Lucky us we do not have to wait until the state tournament for a preview. When you have great competition starring across from you. One can only hope your best players come out and perform. That is exactly what happened.

For the Cavaliers, Haleigh Timmer tallied 18 points and Ciara Benson scored 13 points and Lizzy Elder added 11. Lennox would win in OT 61-57.
