With a statement win over West Branch  by a score of 43-29, the Lady Quakers finish the league 9-1 and move to 17-2 on the season. The Quakers will share a first-place title finish with Marlington who beat them in the first time the two teams met.

The Quakers were led by Abbie Davidson who finished with a big double-double with 13 points and 11 boards.  Kami Rohm finished with 13 points and 8 rebounds and had a commanding defensive presence in the paint as always.  Rylee Hutton added 9 points to the Salem offense.
