“Tonight we really all showed up on both ends of the floor,” said Cortland Head Coach Janice Meyer. “I felt like we really played a good, clean game. Kendall Mack ran our show, distributing the ball, rebounding, and setting the tone and pace of our game. Defensively Valerosa Gambitta and Aubree Larkin did a really good job of keeping Maddie Ramsguard at bay. 

“Mallory Turner had a huge offensive game from behind the arc, and Ryleigh Larkin hit some big shots, played a good composed game defensively, and did so many of the little things we needed,” added Coach Meyer. “I was really happy with my sophomores coming in off the bench, playing a good, composed, and smart game.”
