COBLESKILL, N.Y. - The SUNY Polytechnic Women's Basketball Team improved to 3-0 in conference play with an easy victory on the road Wednesday night at SUNY Cobleskill. The Wildcats evened their record at 5-5 overall with the 77-40 victory.

SUNY Poly forced a whopping 35 Fighting Tiger turnovers on the night while holding the host team to just 24% shooting from the field.

Molly MacLachlan (Marcellus, N.Y. / Marcellus) led the way with 17 points including a lights-out 4-for-7 performance from beyond the arc.

Geena Gallo (Ballston Spa, N.Y. / Ballston Spa) added 13 points and a team-high 5 steals, while Lauren Knowles (Salisbury Mills, N.Y. / Washingtonville) contributed 11 points and a team-best 9 rebounds.

Preston finished the game 7 for 16 from the field - the rest of the Cobleskill lineup managed just 4 made field goals combined.

The blowout victory allowed some SUNY Poly reserves to get involved. Notably Bethany Karl and Nicole Dupuis added 6 points apiece, with Dupuis knocking down both of her three-point attempts. Second-semester addition Barrie Brooks led all reserves with 8 points and also dished out 3 assists in her 10 minutes of play.
