The College at Brockport Women's Basketball team's three game win streak was snapped Saturday evening as cold shooting in the second half proved to be the difference in the 60-53 loss to State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) opponent Plattsburgh in the Jim and John Vlogianitis Gymnasium on the campus of Brockport.

Brockport (5-11, 3-6 SUNYAC) held a 30-22 advantage at halftime but was unable to pull out the win as the team shot just 25% from the field in the second half. Plattsburgh also dominated the glass securing 49 rebounds compared to Brockport's 28.

In the first half of play Brockport shared the ball and the offensive responsibility was evenly divided amongst the Golden Eagles. Faith Welch (Albany, NY/Catholic Central) led the Golden Eagles with eight points in the first half. She displayed her athleticism early and often driving to the basket and finishing in traffic with both her right and left hand.

Five minutes into the second half and the Golden Eagles lead had disappeared when Plattsburgh made a layup to tie the game up for the third time in the contest. With 11 minutes remaining in the game the Cardinals had built an eight point lead and led 43-35. However Brockport would not give up without a fight and proceeded to slowly pick away at the lead.

With just under seven minutes left in the game, Brockport's Marissa Pike (Burdett, NY/Watkins Glen) nailed a three pointer on an assist from Erin Cunningham (Marlboro, NY/Marlboro) that gave the Golden Eagles the momentary 48-47 lead. Plattsburgh answered back on its very next possession.

Brockport had the opportunity to tie the game with three minutes remaining but was able to only hit one of two free throws. Plattsburgh then proceeded to go on an 8-2 run to win the game 60-53.

Welch led Brockport with 15 points, while Olivia Suhr (Rochester, NY/Marion) added 13 to go along with her 11 rebounds, four blocks and three steals. Pike finished the game with 11 points including a team high three triples.

Brockport travels to Geneseo next weekend to continue SUNYAC play on Friday January 30 at 7:30 pm.
