The women's basketball team fell 64-61 in a tight road game at SUNY Orange on Wednesday night.
The first half of the contest was back and forth with multiple lead changes as neither team took a commanding advantage. After taking a brief lead in the middle of the quarter, the Hornets trailed 17-12 after one. SUNY Broome came back in the second quarter to tie the score at 17-17, but SUNY Orange went ahead again and maintained a minimal lead for the rest of the quarter, taking a 28-25 lead into the half.
With more of the same in the third quarter, SUNY Broome tied the game briefly before SUNY Orange snuck ahead yet again, holding a four-point lead after three. The Colts began to pull away midway through the fourth, going up by 10, but SUNY Broome answered the run. The Hornets tied the game at 57-57 with under two minutes to play. After SUNY Orange went ahead again, the teams began trading points to make the game go back and forth between one-point and three-point advantages.
SUNY Broome ultimately inbounded the ball under its own basket down by three with just seconds remaining, but could not get off a look to tie the game and force overtime.
Three Hornets scored in double figures in the contest as Nnyala Stark and Adrianna Finta tied for the team lead with 13 points each, while Alyvia Heath added 11. Finta had eight rebounds while Stark had seven. Heath added four rebounds and four steals. Zephora Brouillette pulled down a game-high nine rebounds in the narrow loss.
SUNY Broome outshot SUNY Orange from the field, but the host Colts attempted a remarkable 53 free throws and made 33 of them in the win.
The Hornets will look to get back in the win column this weekend with games against Mohawk Valley CC and Herkimer College.
