ONEONTA, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo senior guard Dana Cohan scored 11 points, including the 1,000th of her career, to lead the Knights over host Oneonta, 56-45, in State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) women's basketball play, Saturday afternoon.

Cohan now stands 15th on Geneseo's all-time scoring list with 1,001 points to date. Junior guard Katie Durand had 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds while first-year forward McKenna Brooks added 11 points and four rebounds off the bench in the win.

"I'm proud the team was able to grind one out today on the road," said head coach Scott Hemer. "Last night's loss left a bitter taste in our mouths so being able to get back up after being knocked down was huge. We're all thrilled about Dana's accomplishment. Her unselfish play has gotten her over 400 career assists, which makes 1,000 career points that much more impressive."

Following an Oneonta three-pointer by senior guard Lyteshia Price to open the game, the Knights went on a 10-0 run to take a 10-3 lead at 5:23 in the first quarter. The run was capped by a jumper from Durand.

At 2:48 in the first quarter, junior guard Kayleigh Cavanaugh scored from long range to extend the Knights' lead to eight, 18-10, as the visitors held a 20-13 advantage at the end of the period. Cavanaugh finished the day with eight points and three steals.

With 7:28 to play in the second quarter, Oneonta junior guard Cara Adams made a shot from beyond the arc to bring the hosts within four, 22-18. Both teams traded baskets for the remainder of the period as Geneseo held a five-point lead, 28-23, at halftime.

The Knights (16-6, 11-4 SUNYAC) outscored the Red Dragons, 13-2, in the first 7:38 of the third quarter to take a 16-point lead, 41-25, at 2:22 after a jumper by senior forward Allison McKenna. However, Oneonta (16-7, 12-4 SUNYAC) closed the quarter with a 7-0 spurt to come within nine, 41-32.

At 4:56 in the fourth quarter, junior guard Kara Houppert completed a three-point play to put Geneseo up by 13, 46-33. With 3:32 remaining in the game, Cohan scored a three to surpass 1,000 career points, make it a 51-35 game and secure the conference victory.
