The Roos jumped out to an 11-8 lead after the opening quarter. However, Bard used a 15-5 run to take a 23-16 advantage with 3:07 remaining in the first half. Canton closed the final 2:55 on a 15-0 run to take an eight-point lead (31-23) into intermission.

Both teams hit the 20 point mark in the third quarter as the Roos took a seven point lead into the final quarter.

The Roos led 60-52 but the Raptors responded with a 7-0 run to get within one with 3:50 to play. Canton rattled off six straight points to open up a 66-59 lead and seal the win.

Christina Kiser, an eight-time Liberty League Rookie of the Week this season, led all players with 38 points and added 10 rebounds for the Raptors. Jess Rylander totaled 12 points and Katie Esposito finished with eight points and 13 rebounds for the hosts.

The Roo reserves outscored their counterparts, 18-2, which proved to be a major difference in the outcome.
