The matchup marks the second meeting in eight days between the teams. Hornsby won the previous game 95-83 on May 23 at Canb. Nationals. In that contest, AyAnna Bey posted 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Caitlyn Jones scored 22 points with six rebounds for the losing side.

Both players are expected to be central figures again Sunday.
