Junior Calvin Logins 11th double-double of the season wasn't enough to secure a win.
The No. 7 seeded Storm couldn’t pull off the upset of No. 2 seed Wells College as Keuka fell by 10 (77-67) in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) Tournament Quarterfinals at Penn State-Harrisburg on Friday.
Keuka ends its season with a 9-16 overall record while Wells improves to 20-6 overall and advances to face the Nittany Lions of Penn State-Harrisburg in the semifinals.
Keuka jumped out to an early 8-0 lead through the game’s first three and a half minutes and held a lead until just under eight minutes remaining when Wells hit a 3-pointer for its first lead of the game (26-23). Keuka regained the lead (35-34) on Teddy Tuggles (Rochester, N.Y./Gates Chili) lay-up with 22 seconds remaining in the half. Wells’ Greg Jones then hit a 3-pointer with eight seconds left to give the Express a two-point (37-35) halftime lead.
The Storm were never able to regain the lead in the second half, although they got within two (61-59) after a Calvin Logins (Newark, N.Y./Lyons) 3-pointer with 6:32 remaining in the game. Wells would outscore Keuka 16-8 over the rest of the game to secure the win.
