How It Happened 
    It was Senior Day in Steubenville, as Mary Hollis Taylor, Bri DeChristopher, Jazzlyn Melnyk, and Ilena Gonzales were honored before the tip with a nice crowd of family and friends in Finnegan Fieldhouse. The four seniors alongside Emma Clow started this season finale on the floor. The Golden Tornadoes spoiled the day with a steady dose of three-pointers. They connected on seven three-point field goals in the opening quarter en route to 31 points to take a 21-point lead into the second quarter. Geneva cooled off from that record-setting start, as the Barons would win the second quarter. Caroline Reedy got her day going with eight points this quarter, but the Barons trailed 47-29 at the half.

    Back and forth action ensued in the third quarter. Barricklow found her touch from deep once again for Geneva with three made three-point field goals in this quarter. Geneva's Garvin added 14 points in the third as well to extend their lead. Reedy and Mccallen each added nine points in the third, but they were not able to cut into their deficit. In the fourth, the Golden Tornadoes made five more three pointers, but the Barons battled till the very end with 21 points in the final quarter.
