Junior Cara Adams (Attleboro, MA/Bishop Feehan) connected on a career high six three-pointers and senior Lyteshia Price (Liverpool/Liverpool) added a pair of threes, as the SUNY Oneonta women's basketball team defeated rival SUNY Cortland tonight 63-55.  The win for Oneonta (15-6/11-3 SUNYAC) avenged its earlier loss to Cortland (13-8/8-6 SUNYAC) 10 days ago.
 
Senior Bryn Loomis (Norwich/Norwich) contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds and was a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line.
 
Senior Caysea Cohen (Stony Brook/Ward Melville) led Cortland with 19 points, as she made five shots from behind the arc.
 
The Oneonta defense clamped down on Cortland for most of the game holding its rival to just 29 percent shooting for the game.  Price, who recorded four blocks, led the defensive effort.
 
Cortland held its last lead of the contest at 46-44 with 8:37 remaining.  Oneonta put together a 13-4 over the next seven minutes to seize control.
 
An Adams three-pointer gave Oneonta a 49-46 lead with Price scoring an easy bucket on the next possession to push the lead to five. That was all Oneonta would need, as they went 10-10 from the line down the stretch to put away the game.
 
Price stuffed the stat sheet with seven rebounds, three assists and three steals to go with her 19 points.
 
Oneonta's next game will be against Brockport at home in the Dewar Arena on Friday, February 12.
