HOPKINS royals 55, MINNEAPOLIS SOUTH tigers 37

#3 Hopkins smothered #1 South in the first half holding the Tigers scoreless their first 13 possessions as the Royals built up a 18-0 lead. The Royals cruised to a 38-11 halftime lead as the defense was rock solid and the offense looked to attack at every opportunity. The Tigers were hampered with two starters out for non basketball issues---Tyisha Smith and Ameshia Kearney. With those two out Hopkins could really zero in on Tayler Hill. It was a bittersweet night for Hill in that she reached the 3000 point mark for her career. Hill scored her 3000th point with 15:05 to go in the second half. At one point Hill had 26 of the 28 points on the board for South.

At the conclusion of the game the all tournament team was announced:
Ellie Abeler, Andover
Briana Edwards, Mpls North
Jenny Houle, Mpls South
Tayler Hill, Mpls South
Kara Elofson, Hopkins
Brianna Williams, Hopkins MVP
