Box Score

GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo sophomore guard Kiley Snow finished with a team-high 15 points on five three-pointers leading three in double-figures as the Knights rolled to a 67-46 victory over State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) foe Potsdam on Friday night at Schrader Gymnasium.
