Senior Marlie Hartmann chipped in 6 points and 2 assists, giving Bonduel three reliable scoring threats throughout the night.

Bay Port controlled the game from the start, leading 26–20 at halftime and matching Kaukauna’s push in the second half with another 26-point frame. Their work on the glass, 68 total rebounds, 16 offensive, created second-chance opportunities that Kaukauna simply couldn’t overcome.
