Mascoma 54, Hopkinton 31
Key players: Hopkinton – Helen Yeaton (9 points), Avery Chase (8 points), Viola Pietrabissa (rebounding, defense)
Highlights: The Hawks held a 9-7 lead after one, but the Royal’s defensive pressure created over 20 turnovers over the final three quarters as Hopkinton lost for just the second time this year.
