Hill leads undermanned Nighthawks to victory, snap Honey Badgers' 6-game win streak
Ahmed Hill scored a team-high 23 points as the undermanned Guelph Nighthawks squad snapped the Hamilton Honey Badgers' six-game winning streak with a 89-83 victory on Sunday in Guelph, Ont.
Missing both Cat Barber and AJ Lawson, the Nighthawks (6-3), who have now won five games in a row themselves, were able to avenge an 18-point loss to Hamilton (7-2) earlier in the season.
Following a tight opening frame where Guelph took a one-point lead at the end, the Honey Badgers opened the second quarter with a 15-0 run to go up 33-19.
The Nighthawks did not let it wear on them though.
Guelph quickly answered back over the near-five minutes with a 10-2 run of their own to cut the deficit to just six.
