In the final, the Humber Hawks whipped the Mohawk Mountaineers 61-46 to capture their first OCAA crown since 2005. The Mountaineers led 11-9 and 29-26 at the half. But Humber took command in the third quarter and led 44-30 heading into the final frame. The game was all but decided when JenJen Abella was forced to the bench in the third quarter after a collision with Hawk defender and tournament MVP Mary Asare. Though Abella eventually returned to the floor in the fourth quarter, the Mountaineers lacked the offensive punch to hang with the Hawks in her absence. She eventually twisted her ankle and left the game for good. But by then, the Hawks had total command. Aleena Domingo paced the Hawks with 13 on 6-18 from the floor, 1-2 from the line, 10 boards and 4 steals. Llyandra Kerr added 12 on 6-10 from the floor and 9 boards.
