Brockport started fast as Leung hit a pair of three-pointers, Story and Alwardt each hit layups and junior Rachel Csakany (Schenectady, NY/Schenectady) made a free throw as the Golden Eagles built an 11-0 lead over the first 3:36.

Fredonia (5-13, 3-9 SUNYAC) closed the gap to 20-11 before Brockport went on an 8-0 run, capped by a jumper from Leung, which gave Brockport its largest lead of the game, 28-11 with 7:06 remaining in the half.

The Golden Eagles made 12 of their 27 shots from the field in the first half (44 percent) and took a 33-26 lead into halftime.

Fredonia answered back and used a 10-1 run to pull away for good.

Story made a '3' with 21 seconds left that trimmed the deficit to 71-66, and Fredonia turned the ball over on its next possession, but Brockport committed a turnover and Fredonia made a pair of free throws late to seal the win.
