Agapoff finished with 14 points and was named to the All-Tournament team. Santiago added 11 points and Alyssa Hart had seven.
“All in all I was pretty satisfied with the way we played,” Bazzano said.
In the winner’s semifinal round on Friday, Middletown lost 50-17 to eventual tournament champion Acalanes.
“That’s a tough program,” Bazzano said of the Lafayette school. “They got all over us on defense. They’re big and physical. They just physically wore us down.”
Ellie Bazzano’s five points paced the Mustangs.
