The Plattsburgh State women’s basketball team returned to SUNYAC action Friday, facing SUNY Geneseo at Memorial Hall and falling by a final score of 66-54. A strong second-half performance, particularly in the fourth quarter, was not enough to overcome a slow start for the Cardinals. Geneseo got on the board first in the first minute of the game before Taylor Clare scored a jumper to tie the game at 2-2. Only 80 seconds into the game, however, a free throw by Lauren Romito gave the Knights a lead that they would never surrender. Geneseo led 24-14 after the first quarter and pulled away in the second as Plattsburgh shot 0-for-18 in the quarter. With Geneseo up by 21 points at halftime, the Cardinals faced an uphill battle to get back into the game. While they did outscore the Knights in both the third and fourth quarters, the final margin of 12 points was the closest score of the second half. The Knights were paced by Romito’s double-double performance, with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Kerrin Montgomery led with 17 points. For the home team, Ly’rell Walker scored 15 points and Taylor Clare scores 12 and collected 10 rebounds for her own double-double in the loss. Gallery.
