Posted

POTSDAM, N.Y.—24th-ranked SUNY Cortland (10-2, 5-1 SUNYAC) got off to a fast start and earned its 10th victory of the season with a 73-36 decision over the SUNY Potsdam women's basketball team (1-11, 0-5) on Friday night. Red Dragons senior forward Rae Frasier (Schenectady, N.Y./Schenectady) posted a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Senior captain Carli Reynolds (Indian Lake, N.Y./Indian Lake) led the Bears with 12 points.

Cortland raced out to a 13-0 lead before Reynolds drained a 3-pointer to get the Bears on the board. The Red Dragons' shooting proved to be red hot for the duration. Cortland shot 48.3-percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes and built a 23-point lead at the break.

The Bears were improved in the second half, but the so was Cortland's shooting. The Red Dragons upped their percentage to 50 as time wore down and pulled away for the conference victory.

Potsdam junior forward Katie LaVoie (Malone, N.Y./Franklin Academy) reached double digits with 10 points for the second straight contest. Senior captain Colleen McNamara (Guelph, Ontario/Our Lady of Lourdes) finished with five points and five boards, while fellow senior captain Bailey Weigel (East Amherst, N.Y./Williamsville East) totaled four points and eight rebounds.

Junior forward Brittney Dumas (Easton, Conn./Joel Barlow) scored 13 points for Cortland and freshman guard Kerry McHugh (Highland Mills, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) finished with 11. Senior guard Lindsey Minor (Wheatley Heights, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) had five points, five rebounds, five assists and nine steals.

Next, the Bears host Oswego State at 4 p.m. tomorrow afternoon.
