The Senior League girls' basketball championship game was held at Newtown Middle School on March 5. Team D defeated Post Up Malone 52-39.

The scoring opened with a 3-pointer from freshman Cameron Powers for Post Up Malone and Team D answered back with a 3-pointer by junior Carly Swierbut, setting the tone. There were a combined 42 points from downtown with Annabel Terry, Sarah Houle, Abby Grenier, and Kate Petersen helping Team D; and Marina Altimari, Shauna Tucker, Sienna Cummings, and Allie Eurell for Post Up Malone.

The pace of the game picked up in the second quarter and Post Up Malone started to fade since the team played the previous game, beating Team B 24-17, to make its way to the championship. Team D led at the half 30-14. Post Up Malone outscored Team D in the second half but it wasn't enough. Team D proved unstoppable and finished the season undefeated.
