OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Keuka College Men's Basketball team concluded their trip to Oswego State and the Max Ziel Tournament with an 85-73 loss on Saturday.

Keuka College (0-2) was led by three players scoring in the double digits. Devin Milton (Opelousas, La. / Beau Chene) led the team with 15 points. Christian Sage (Owego, N.Y. / Owego Free Academy) was just behind him with 13, and Will Tehan (Victor, N.Y. / Victor) finished with 10.

SUNY Poly 85 vs. Keuka College 73

The Wolves were the first to put points on the board with a pair of free throws from Cam Banks (Titusville, Fl. / Space Coast). The Wolves had answers for the Wildcats baskets in the first half, like a three-pointer from Mason VanDeMortal (Newark, N.Y. / Newark) to tie the game 11-11 with 14 minutes left in the half. Poly started to pull away with five minutes remaining. The Wolves struggled to find their offensive stride down 14, 48-34, at the half.

The Wildcats kept the lead throughout the second half. The Wolves continued their efforts, chipping away at the point deficit. A layup by Ezeke Pulliam (Altamont, N.Y. / Berne-Knox-Westerlo) cut the margin to five, 69-64, with nine minutes left to play. However, a 6-0 run by SUNY Poly over the next three minutes spread the lead back out and the Wildcats were in control. SUNY Poly continued onto the 85-73 victory.

KC Notes:

  • Keuka College falls to 9-27 all-time against SUNY Poly, dropping the last four meetings
  • SUNY Poly did well in the paint against the Wolves on Saturday. They outscored the Wolves 54-28 in the paint and held a 39-26 rebounding advantage
