Though the Hoosier North game against the Panthers was a defensive battle, the Lancers outscored PHS 14-2 in the fourth quarter to pick up the HNAC victory. Coach Nicholas Amor's club trailed 20-18 heading into the final eight minutes when the Lakeville guests started to climb back into the game. A couple of free throws by London Kwiatkowski tied the score at 20-20 with 7:09 left in the fourth. Lily Smith gave LaVille its first lead of the quarter when she swished a free throw to make it 21-20 with 6:27 remaining. Khloe Weaver put Pioneer up 22-21 with a bucket at the 5:44 mark. That's when Mikalah Kuskye stepped up for a big bucket.  After the Lancer offense worked the ball around for a good shot, Mihalah Kuskye was left open just to the left of the key behind the 3-point line.  The junior point-guard swished a trey to put Amor's crew up for good at 24-21. LV would go on to hold Pioneer to 1-8 shooting in the final stanza.  During the 11-0 run by the Lancers over the final 5:44 of the game, Kuskye and Edison hit shots for the final count. Edison scored six of her game-high 14 points in the fourth period.  Kuskye also added five of her eight points during that big Lancer run.
