SUNY Poly 73 at Keuka College 48

The Wildcats took an early 8-0 lead over the Wolves, but Keuka settled into the game. Sam Laranjo had five of Keuka's nine in the first quarter with her last coming with 4:30 left in the frame. SUNY Poly would score seven unanswered to close the quarter to lead 19-9 after the first.

Laranjo drained a three on the opening possession in the second as Keuka looked to erase the deficit. The Wolves would narrow the margin, but never be able to overtake the lead. The Green and Gold rallied, however, as Ameila Poole (Bloomfield, N.Y. / Bloomfield) hit a three in the final seconds to send the game into halftime tied 27-27.

The Wildcats came out of halftime firing. SUNY Poly opened the second half with 18 unanswered points to take a lead. Lexi Appleby (Weedsport, N.Y. / Weedsport) ended the drought with a basket with 2:30 left in the quarter, but the lead would be too much. SUNY Poly outscored Keuka 24-7 in the third and led 51-34.

SUNY Poly saw the game out in the fourth. The Wildcats outscored the Wolves 22-14 as SUNY Poly defeated Keuka College 73-48 on Wednesday.
