Highlights: The Cougars kept a low-scoring affair close early on, trailing just 8-5 after the first quarter and 10-9 at halftime, but the Raiders shutout Kearsarge, 19-0, in the third to seal the game. The Cougars finally started to connect with the basket in the final frame, scoring 21 points and cutting their deficit to five with 1:45 left in the game.

Coach’s quote: “Tough going for both teams through two quarters. Very physical and tough to make shots. We just couldn’t throw it in the ocean through three quarters tonight. But we had a really good fourth quarter, outscoring Lebanon 21-12, but just couldn’t get over the hump. Proud of the girls showing no quit tonight. Tough loss, but we learned a lot about ourselves tonight.” – Kearsarge’s Keith Roberts

Records: Lebanon 4-0; Kearsarge 3-4
