The Eagles guard averaged 19 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in the two games. On Sunday in the final against Rider, BC won, 112-61, setting a new tournament scoring record in a final at the Hawk Classic. Garraud led all scorers with a career-high 28 points, on 8-for-12 shooting from the floor and 4-for-7 from the three-point line. She also had six rebounds, four assists and three steals.
