The Lady Panthers shot just 2-23 from beyond the arc in the first half and trailed by 24-7 at the break. Slowly but surely, Fairview cut into the gap by getting the lead down to 11 at the break and all the way down to just five with minutes to go in the game.

However, Hathaway, who had lost to Fairview in the 2020 and 2021 championship games, delivered clutch shots when they needed to as they secured the 64-54 win.
