Senior Olivia Dobrovosky (Skaneateles/Skaneateles) finished with a 16-point, 14-rebound double-double, and senior Meg Nardelli (Wappingers Falls/Roy C. Ketcham) ended with 14 points. The Red Dragons improved to 17-7 on the season and 12-5 in the SUNYAC, while the Bears are now 10-12 overall and 8-9 in conference play.

The Bears scored the next five points then freshman Lidia Boucher (Delmar, NY/Bethlehem Central High School) hit a jumper to cut the Red Dragons deficit, 13-18, heading into the second.  

Junior Jenna Harclerode (Sayville/Sayville) kicked it to sophomore Nadia Brown (Troy/Troy) in the corner for a three-pointer to start the second period. After a tough layup, Nardelli knocked down a three of her own to give Oneonta their first lead of the game, 21-20 at 7:31. The game remained one possession for the remainder of the half.
