Medaille College 70 vs. Keuka College 58
A slow start to the game, Medaille carried a 2-1 lead until Amelia Poole knocked down a three for the Wolves 2:30 into the contest. Play would pick up but the Mavericks would lead for most of the quarter and they held a 16-11 advantage after one.
The Wolves would be held without a basket for the first four minutes of the second half as Medaille College grew their lead to double figures. Meaghan McGwin (Rochester, N.Y. / Hilton) snapped the slide with a jumper to make it 24-13. McGwin then created a turnover, got a steal, and was fouled. Keuka College further chipped into the Maverick lead. A three by Killian Mahoney (Canandaigua, N.Y. / Canandaigua Academy) cut the margin to six, 29-23, with 4:27 left in the half. Once again, Medaille College answered the Keuka rally as the Mavericks reestablished their double-digit lead and led 41-30 at the half.
The Mavericks maintained their distance in the third quarter. Killian Mahoney set up Sydney Brown (Lowville, N.Y. / Lowville Academy) for a three in the final seconds to cut the margin to 10. The Wolves outscored the Mavericks in the quarter, but Medaille remained ahead 54-44 going into the fourth.
Keuka College cut the lead to single-digits with 7:20 to go as Isabella Colon (Pine Bush, N.Y. / Pine Bush) hit a three. The Wolves would get the margin down to eight following a Mahoney three with three minutes left, but that would be as close as the Wolves would make it as Keuka College fell to Medaille College 70-58.
