Lakers Drop Home Conference Matchup to Onondaga

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – Finger Lakes women's basketball fell to 1-2 on the season after an 85-48 loss to Onondaga Community College on Wednesday night.

Ava Read (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua Academy) battled inside all night, finishing with a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double while shooting 6-of-8 from the free throw line.

Jackie Neureuter (Pembroke, N.Y./Pembroke) added 6 points and 4 rebounds off the bench, and Kayla Taylor (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua Academy) pulled down 9 rebounds. Chloe Scott (South Seneca, N.Y./South Seneca) contributed 6 rebounds and a block in the effort.

The Lakers shot 68% from the free throw line and held their own on the glass with 40 rebounds, but 28 turnovers allowed the Lazers to create separation throughout the night.
