Against the Hawks, the Red Flash struggled to produce offense, going 12-for-50 from the field and just 3-for-16 from long range. The team also struggled at the line, shooting 57 percent. Natalie Johnson came off the bench and led the scoring for St. Francis, but only had nine points. Jade Campbell also came off the bench to lead the team in rebounding with six.
