Redhawks defeat Tonawanda Braves 2 game to none in Can-Am Semifinals.
The Tonawanda Braves reached the semis by defeating the Newtown Golden Eagles. Game 1 saw the Onondaga Redhawks dominate on both ends of the floor. A great pressing defense didn’t allow the Braves many scoring opportunities and creative passing allowed for pretty Redhawk talleys. Game 2 at Tonawanda saw a closer score but a similar result, a 13-7 win.
With the win, the Redhawks will play second place Niagara Hawks in the Can-Am final on Friday August 6th at 8:30.
