Brockport trailed the whole first half, coming within one point with five minutes remaining. Rehbaum made a layup that brought the Golden Eagles within a single point. The layup was keyed by a block and rebound on the defensive end from Olivia Suhr (Rochester, NY/Marion). The Knights proceeded to score 11 of the next 14 points and took a 30-22 lead into the half. Rehbaum made a three pointer for Golden Eagles for the team's only score within the last five minutes of play in the first half.
Geneseo wasted little time as it built its lead to double digits in the second half. Two made free throws by a Knight, put Geneseo up by 10 less than a minute into the half. Brockport trailed 63-37 with four minutes remaining in the action. The Golden Eagles went on a 10-2 run as time ran out. Lisa Yacovoni (Endwell, NY/Maine-Endwell) nailed a three pointer for the final score of the game on an assist from Alyssa Rusinko (Fairport, NY/Fairport).
Rehbaum led Brockport with 12 points and tied for the team lead in rebounds with six.
