GENESEO, N.Y. – Nyia Longford (Medford/Longwood) led three Cortland double-figure scorers with 18 points as the Red Dragons' women's basketball team wrapped up the regular season with a 77-64 win at Geneseo. 
 
Cortland (21-4, 16-2 SUNYAC) finished second in the SUNYAC standings and will receive a bye into the SUNYAC tournament semifinals next Friday at top-seeded New Paltz. The Red Dragons will play either third-seeded Oneonta or sixth-seeded Potsdam, with the winner advancing to Saturday's championship game. Geneseo (18-7, 13-5 SUNYAC) finished tied for third with Oneonta in the league standings but due to a coin flip will be the fourth seed in the playoffs and will host fifth-seeded Brockport Tuesday in the first round. 
 
Longford hit 8-of-10 shots from the field and also finished with five rebounds and a career-high seven assists. Emily Morano (Olyphant, PA/Mid Valley) scored 15 points, including 6-of-6 foul shooting, and added five rebounds and two assists. Julia Siler (Seaford) scored a career-high 12 points.

Sarah Tully (East Aurora) scored nine points and hauled in seven rebounds. Fiona Mullen (Orangeburg/Tappan Zee) made both of her 3-pointers and ended with eight points. Casey Travers (Manorville/Eastport-South Manor) finished with five points, five assists and four rebounds, and Logan Streety (Elma/Iroquois) went 3-for-3 from the floor in a six-point effort.

Cortland shot 61 percent from the field in the second half and finished the game at 57 percent. Geneseo hit 50 percent of its first-half shots and ended at 44 percent. 
 
Cortland fell behind 11-1 less than four minutes into the game and trailed by 12 points at 16-4 with 4:21 remaining in the first quarter. The Red Dragons, however, closed the period on a 10-2 run, including six points from Longford, and were down only four, 18-14, after 10 minutes.
