Romen Martin led Bryant White with 10 points. Kyle Sahr added 6. Quintin Nimmer and Beaux Bonvillain had 4 each.
“Overall, our effort was good, but there are times where we needed to make better decisions with the basketball,” commented Hornets coach Heath Long. “There were a couple of times that we let them back in the game when we had a chance to basically put it out of reach, but we were able to hang on to the lead in spite of those swings in momentum.”
