Russell Sage College 72 vs Keuka College 50

An early steal by Amelia Poole (Bloomfield, N.Y. / Bloomfield) led to a Sydney Bloom (Penn Yan, N.Y. / Penn Yan Academy) layup for the opening basket of the game. The hosts would rebound, however, with ten straight to take the lead. Killian Mahoney (Canandaigua, N.Y. / Canandaigua Academy) hit a three to make it 17-9 with over a minute left. The Gators added a layup and led 19-9 after one.

After Russell Sage College scored the first four points of the second, Keuka attempted to cut into their lead. The Wolves held the Gators off the board for over three minutes. During that time, Keuka scored eight straight to cut the lead to just six, 23-17, and force Sage to use a timeout. Russell Sage responded in the back half of the quarter. The Gators had a put-back layup at the buzzer to lead by 17 points, 41-24, at the half.

The two teams traded baskets for most of the third quarter. Sage would go on an 8-0 run midway through the third to widen the gap. Killian Mahoney knocked down a three in the final seconds, but the Gators would carry a 59-38 lead into the final quarter.

Russell Sage would see the game out in the fourth. They outscored the Wolves 13-12 in the frame on their way to the 72-50 victory.
