Keuka led the whole game, racing out to a 13-2 lead en route to a 35-23 halftime advantage. The Green and Gold's lead grew to 45-32 on a layup from sophomore Erica Pendrak (Utica, NY/New York Mills), but Pitt-Bradford (1-2) went on a 12-0 run to pull within one point on a '3' from Melanie Yanetsko with 7:37 remaining.

The Storm responded as junior Casey Chamberlain (Perry, NY/Perry) grabbed an offensive rebound and converted the putback and Gravel drained a '3' for a 5-0 run and a 50-44 lead.

On back-to-back possessions, Mouzon and junior Taylor Szwec (Candor, NY/Candor) each converted three-point plays as the Storm went on an 11-2 run.

The visiting Panthers pulled within 59-56 on a '3' from Alicia Kimmel, but Bandrowski and Mouzon each made a free throw and Pitt-Bradford missed its last five shots as the Green and Gold hung on.

Chamberlain finished with 7 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals while Szwec had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists for Keuka, which out-rebounded Pitt-Bradford 46-34 but committed 25 turnovers to just 13 for the Panthers.
