The Plattsburgh State women's basketball team had a tough night on the court against a SUNYAC-leading foe from New Paltz. In a game in which they never held a lead, the Cardinals couldn't hold back the New Paltz offense and lost by a final score of 73-45 at Memorial Hall. After the Hawks opened the scoring with a three-pointer by Marion Dietz, Plattsburgh's Taylor Durnin equalized nearly two minutes later in the low-scoring first quarter for both teams. The teams exchanged field goals just after the midpoint of the quarter, but 5-5 would be the last time the game was tied. New Paltz controlled the scoreboard from then on. Trailing by seven at the halftime buzzer, the Cardinals saw things turn from bad to worse in the third period. Two separate six-point runs by the Hawks, each lasting more than three minutes, allowed the visitors to build a commanding lead. The final 28-point margin was the result of a fourth-quarter even more dominant than the third for New Paltz, who outscored the host team 23-11 in the final frame. Individually, a balanced offense for the Hawks saw three different players hit double-digit points, with three more having 8 or 9, while Durnin's 10-point night was the only double-digit performance for the Cardinals.

Plattsburgh State's Theresa Quinn (12) comes in on the breakaway for the layup as part of a five-point night. 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.
