Women's Basketball Knocks Off Alfred For Quarterfinal Win

GENESEO, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo women's basketball team earned an Empire 8 quarterfinal win over Alfred on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Saxons 68-43. The Knights improve to 20-6 on the season, and will advance to the semifinal round, where they will host St. John Fisher on Wednesday, Feb. 26.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Geneseo opened up the game firing on all cylinders, going ahead 10-0 in the first four minutes of play. Six points from Kristin Suydam and buckets from Eva Elliot and Mackenzie Reigle led the opening run, but the Saxons knocked down four three-point shots in the closing minutes to flip the momentum and gain a 16-14 lead going to the second quarter.
  • Reigle scored six of the first eight points for Geneseo in the second quarter, then Kiley Snow drained back-to-back shots to give the Knights a 29-25 lead with 3:41 left on the clock. Unfortunately, Alfred kept Geneseo off the scoreboard for the remainder of the half, and tied the game before the halftime buzzer at 29-29.
  • The Knights came out firing to open the third quarter, going on a 13-0 run to open it up over the first five and a half minutes. Geneseo continued to keep the pressure on the Saxons throughout the quarter and led by as many as 20 points at 53-33.
  • Grace Galgano gave the Knights their biggest lead of the game in the fourth quarter with a deep three off a pass from Reigle, pushing the score to 68-39 with just under three minutes to go. Geneseo would go on to earn the playoff victory by a score of 68-43.
QUICK FACTS:
  • Reigle nearly tallied a triple double for the Knights, posting 10 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds.
  • Suydam led the game in points with 16 on 7-10 shooting from the field, while Audrey Hintz (14), Snow (11), and Galgano (10) also reached double digit scoring.
