*Hamilton, OH – November 12, 2025* — The Hocking College women’s basketball team continued their strong start to the season with a **61–53 road win** over Miami Hamilton University on Tuesday night.

*“Our defense and composure down the stretch made the difference,”* said Head Coach Andrew Brown. Freshman guard Aubriona Benjamin provided a major spark off the bench, finishing with 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. In the paint, Hawa Ba anchored the defense with 11 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 2 assists, helping the Hawks limit Miami Hamilton’s second-chance opportunities.

The Hawks’ starting lineup of Lilly Weaver, Gianna Boyce, Carmyn Woods, Hawa Ba, and Hazely Wagner established the early tone. Weaver contributed 5 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals, while Boyce added 6 points and solid perimeter defense.

Additional contributions came from Tori Rose (3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block) and Aliyah Brock (4 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals), whose hustle plays helped Hocking maintain control in the final minutes.
