After losing the lead at 6:16 in the fourth, Mechanicsburg did tie the game back up a few minutes later. Gracen Nutt got the ball down low and finished in the paint to knot things up at 33-33.
The Wildcats were led by Jayden Eager with 14 points. Cassie Eager and Priya Loran both had seven points in the loss. Emma Castilla had five points, while Nutt contributed three points all in the fourth quarter.
