From that point, the Keuka College defense locked in. They allowed only one more field goal by the Knights for the rest of the game. The Wolves created separation with a 12-0 run midway through the half. Devin Milton hit a pair of threes to start the run and Keion Brooks (Titusville, Fla. / Home-Schooled) added a pair of baskets.
