Senior forward Kiara Mack (Milton, VT) delivered 14 points and pulled down a team-high nine rebounds, including five on the offensive glass.  Sophomore guard Skylar Begay (Tucson, AZ) paced the Hornets with 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting, highlighted by a 5-for-7 performance from behind the arc.  Junior guard Ella Huntington (Taylorsville, UT) added 17 points and six assists in an efficient 17 minutes.

Lyndon shot 42.9 percent from the field, buried 14 three-pointers, and controlled the boards 58–25.  The Hornets forced MCLA into repeated turnovers, converting them into 46 points, and posted 42 points from their reserves.
