Nazareth College 81 vs. Keuka College 59
It was a slow start for both teams as it was tied 7-7 six minutes into the game on Tuesday. Nazareth College took the lead with a three, but the Wolves answered right back with a layup by
Devin Milton cutting it back to a one-point game. The hosts used an 8-0 run to extend their lead to 14 points late in the half. Milton knocked down a three with 29 seconds left, but the Golden Flyers got a put-back layup in the final seconds to lead 37-26 at the half.
The Golden Flyers opened the second half with 10 straight points, forcing the Wolves into a timeout. The break worked as
Lorenzo Bicknese and
Kobe Schriver hit back-to-back threes for the Wolves. After a Nazareth layup, Schriver set up
Daniel Obunse for a three to make it 49-35. The 14-point margin would be as close as Keuka would make it, however. Nazareth saw the second half out as the Golden Flyers defeated the Wolves 81-59.
