Sophomore Katie Stuart (Tupper Lake, N.Y./Tupper Lake) finished with 10 points and four rebounds for Keuka, which committed 23 turnovers in the loss to first-place Morrisville State (7-3, 3-0 NEAC).

It was Keuka's first loss to Morrisville State in 11 meetings.

The Wolfpack fell behind 5-0, 10-5 and 14-7 to start the game, but Pendrak swished a triple and made a layup to trim the deficit to 16-12 with 13:15 left in the first.

Trailing 18-12, junior Meghan Ideman (Moravia, N.Y./Moravia) buried a '3' to pull Keuka within three, 18-15.

Blum hit a jumper and Pendrak buried a '3' to pull Keuka within 26-25, but the Mustangs responded with a 5-0 run and led 31-25 until Blum collected a missed shot and scored on a six-foot jumper as time expired.

Keuka trailed 31-27 at intermission.

Stuart made a layup and Hadley hit a jumper to trim the deficit to 33-31 1:20 into the second half, but the Mustangs used a 7-0 run to take a 40-31 lead.

Stuart snapped a scoreless streak of 6:30 with a triple from the right corner with 12:14 remaining, as Keuka closed within 40-34, but Morrisville went on a 14-5 run during an eight-minute stretch and led 47-36 halfway through the second.

The deficit grew to 50-36 before Hadley hit a layup with 8:37 remaining. Stuart then knocked down a pair of free throws and swished a '3' to slice the deficit to 51-43 with 6:22 remaining.

But Keuka was unable to complete the comeback and dropped its third straight decision.
