Keuka College made their first basket of the year on their first shot as Sydney Brown (Lowville, N.Y. / Lowville Academy) knocked down a three with Lauren Hill (Cobleskill, N.Y. / Cobleskill-Richmondville) getting the assist.

A hook shot leading to a three-point play by Jenna LaMere (Scottsville, N.Y. / Wheatland-Chili) snapped the skid for Keuka College, but the Herons would lead 52-22 at the half.

The Wolves continued to attack from deep in the third. The Wolves scored 13 points in the frame on threes by LaMere, Poole, and Brown. Four free throws rounded out the scoring for Keuka, but the Wolves trailed 75-35 after three quarters.
