Freshman Mallory Buckley (Syracuse, NY/East Syracuse-Minoa) scored a career-high 15 points for The College at Brockport Women's Basketball team but State University of New York Athletic Conference foe Potsdam took an early 11-point lead and held on for a 59-51 victory Friday night in Welsh Gymnasium in Potsdam.
Brockport (2-7 Overall, 0-2 SUNYAC) traded baskets in the early portion of the first half but a run through the middle of the first half allowed Potsdam (2-8, 1-2) to open up a double-digit lead and the Bears took an 11-point lead into the locker room for the halftime intermission with a 33-22 advantage.
In the second half, Brockport outscored the Bears 29-26 but the early first half lead was enough to give Potsdam the conference win.
Buckley led all Brockport scorers with her 15 points while Rachel Csakany (Schenectady, NY/Schenectady) added nine points and a team-leading nine rebounds.
