"It feels great to end on a win, for sure," Gretchen LeVan shared. "Yet again, this crew leaves everything out on the court. Cayleen with another 20+ point game, Kait hitting 5 for 10 from behind the arc, forcing 27 turnovers, and the list goes on and on. Mont Alto had talents across the board, but we just executed our game plan and they didn't keep pace with how well we were shooting down the stretch."

Carlee Conrad found the charity stripe early in the contest after being fouled behind the arc, giving the Patriots a 2-point lead. The Nittany Lions tied the game 9-9 halfway through the first, but Valley Forge rounded out with a 16-4 run to hold a 12-point advantage.

Mont Alto claimed the second stanza as they outscored the Patriots 14-11, cutting the lead to single digits at the half.

With a 9-point lead, Valley Forge found an 11-0 run with 4:38 remaining. After Kaitlyn Hess drained a three-ball and Carlee Conrad jumper, the Patriots entered the fourth-quarter with a 20-piece lead.

Cayleen Conrad made her presence known, scoring 8 out of the 13 total points scored in the fourth. With an emotional finish, Shania Walker put the contest to rest with a three ball, her 2^nd of the season and 4^th of her career. Valley Forge closed thier season with a 70-45 victory. 

Valley Forge hit 24-56 from the field (36.9%), 12-35 from three-point land (34.3%), and 10-19 from the line (52.6%).

LeVan added, "If anyone had a chance to watch us play this year, I hope they were as inspired as I was by my team. I think I heard it from most opposing coaches, that this team has no quit and are very dangerous on the court. That's the Patriot Way!"
