"We had some mental lapses," said coach Mary Grab as the Lady Hornets scrabmbling to hold onto their lead during the fourth quarter. "It was a scary thing to see the girls almost turn off during that fourth quarter. I wasn't sure where they all went: it was like watching five strangers on the court. It was a relief to hear that final buzzer!"
