Abby Oguich scored 10 of her team-high 18 points in the third period and was one of four Hornets in double figures.

Maggie Quarles scored 17 points, and Jayda Chambers and Erin Green added 10 apiece. Quarles and Green each grabbed seven rebounds, while Chambers chipped in six boards and four assists.

Jacy Marvin scored a game-high 21 points for the Panthers (4-13, 4-6).
