The SUNY Oneonta women's basketball team held No. 15 Geneseo to a season low 42 points tonight in picking up a narrow 44-42 victory on the road.  The win for the Red Dragons snapped a mini two-game slide and raised its overall record to 15-4 and, more importantly, keeping them in the hunt for one of the top two seeds for the SUNYAC tournament with six games left in the regular season.  The Loss for the Knights was only its second setback of the year, both coming in conference play, as they are now 17-2 overall and 10-2 in the SUNYAC.
 
Junior Leanne Corso (Commack/Commack) led Oneonta with 18 points including five points in the final quarter.  Both teams managed only seven points in the final quarter with the hosts squandering multiple opportunities in the final seconds including a turnover by Kelsey Poplawski with three seconds to go.  After a lay up by Kerrin Montgomery brought Geneseo to within a bucket with 1:48 left, neither team scored the rest of the way.
 
After falling into a 12-4 hole coming out of the opening quarter, the Red Dragons stormed back in the second quarter to trail only 23-22 at halftime.  Senior Madeline Frank (Syracuse/Jamesville-Dewitt) got things started in the quarter with an old fashioned three-point play.  Another three-point play by junior Leanne Corso (Commack/Commack) brought Oneonta back to within a point at 16-15 with just under five minutes left.  After Geneseo pushed its lead back to 21-15, Corso and Frank led a 7-2 run over the final 2:49 to bring the Red Dragons back.
 
The Red Dragons continued its momentum into the third quarter tying the score at 25 apiece on a three-pointer by junior Olivia Allrich (Ballston Spa/Ballston Spa).  The Knights created some space with an 8-3 spurt over the next six minutes before countering with 9-2 run of its own to grab a 37-35 lead heading into the fourth quarter.  Sophomore Maya Bernsley (Monroe/Monroe Woodbury) made a big three with one tick left on the clock in the quarter.
 
Senior Madeline Frank (Syracuse/Jamesville-Dewitt) joined Corso in double digits tonight with 11 points recording a double-double grabbing 11 rebounds.
 
Oneonta will play at Brockport tomorrow afternoon beginning at 2pm.
