With the win, the Beavers upped their overall record to 3-4 and are now a perfect 3-0 in North Atlantic Conference play. The Hornets meanwhile fall to 1-5 overall and 1-1 in the NAC.

"We were much more focused mentally in the second half," said Lyndon Head Coach Vinnie Maloney. "We got out of sorts and made a few defensive mistakes early on, but we played hard the final eight minutes and did a much better job rebounding the ball."

The Hornets had an opportunity to send the game into overtime, but managed to hit only one free throw in the final minute of play.

Ferry finished the contest with 13 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal while Meghan Smith added 12 points six rebounds, two assists and one steal/ Lindsay Ranquist and Rhi Jackson had nine points each from Farmington with Ranquist collecting seven rebounds, four assists and one steal.
