Thanks to their first-half lead, the Hornets held on, for a 54-46 victory.

Senior Braden Schneider led for Cadott, notching 16 points, followed by senior Cameron Allard, with 12 – nine of those coming from three-point shots. Senior Parker Davis came next, with 9 points, while senior Blane Mengel added 6.

Jackson Barone, senior, contributed 5 points, junior Collin Kowalczyk knocked down a three-pointer and junior Asher Sikora chipped in with 3 points.
