Franklin College spoiled the party as the Grizzlies posted a 98-76 win over the Quakers in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference affair.

"This senior class has meant so much to the women's basketball program," Earlham Head Coach Melissa Johnson said. "Their work ethic, positive attitudes and coachability have helped turn this program around. I am honored to have had the opportunity to coach them for the past three years."

Kasin Spay tossed in 19 points, while Hannah Franklin finished with 14 points.

Lexi McFarland added nine points and four assists. Maya Luney topped the squad with six rebounds.

In the second half, the Quakers were able to cut the defict to 10 points on four occasions with the last coming at the 10:23 mark when Sneed scored to make it 70-60.
