NORTHFIELD, VERMONT - Senior Tyechia Cooke scored 14 points and was named to the All-Tournament team while freshman Tyisha Battle had 14 points and a game-high seven rebounds as the Apprentice School lost 86-54 to St. Lawrence University in the finals of the Hockenbury Tournament at Norwich University.

The Saints, a New York region power and NCAA Division III Tournament participant, saw the Lady Builders tie the game 2-all on a Cooke jumper at the 18:42 mark.  From then, St. Lawrence broke the game open with a 22-2 run for a 24-4 lead on an Amy Fortener jumper with 10:37 left.
