Ashley Lewis (’07, Whitesboro / Whitesboro HS), one of four Wildcats in double-figures, led the way with a team-high 16 points on 5-for-13 shooting from the field. Lewis, who scored a game-high and season-high 22 points in the previous day’s 69-56 win over PSU Berks, capped off the win by going 4-for-5 from the free-throw line.
Forward Ashley Agresta (’06, Amsterdam / Galway HS) recorded 15 points on the day.

The Wildcats, who trailed in the second half by as many as 11 points, cut the Blue Jay lead down to just two points in the final two minutes thanks to key three-pointers by Stephen Harris (’09, Watervliet / Watervliet HS) and Joshua Winans (’07, Afton / Afton HS).
