Junior forward Megan Rodowicz led the way with 13 points and four rebounds for the 'Canes, while sophomore center Emily Rosse added 12 points and five boards. 

Junior Jenn Gale also had a solid all-around game for Hoosac (13-5), scoring seven points, grabbing seven rebounds, collecting four steals and dishing out three assists. Sophomore guard McKenzie Robinson also chipped in with five points and a team-high seven assists. 

Senior Kendall Smith led the way for St. Joe's with 11 points.
