Sophomore Erica Pendrak (Utica, NY/New York Mills) scored 14 points with a career-high nine rebounds as the Keuka College women’s basketball team picked up its ninth straight conference win, 71-46 over Wilson College Saturday afternoon inside the Weed Physical Arts Center.
Pendrak was one of four student-athletes to score in double figures. Pendrak was joined by sophomore Brittany Hadley (Jasper, NY/Jasper-Troupsburg), who scored 13 points with four rebounds, senior Mariah Mouzon (Elmira, NY/Elmira Free Academy), who scored 10 points with eight rebounds, and junior Danielle Gravel (Sidney, NY/Sidney), who scored 10 points.
Pendrak (6-for-12) and Gravel (4-for-8) each shot 50 percent for Keuka (15-2, 12-1 North Eastern Athletic Conference), which shot 50 percent (13-for-26) in the first half en route to a 38-23 halftime lead.
Sophomore Amanda Kubitz (Spencerport, NY/E.J. Wilson) added eight points and seven rebounds while junior Taylor Szwec (Candor, NY/Candor) had 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists for the Storm.
Keuka enjoyed a 60-29 edge rebounding, including 23-10 on the offensive glass. The Phoenix (2-14, 0-13) shot just 26.6 percent (17-for-64), including going 9-for-39 in the first half.
The Storm led 16-14 midway through the opening half before going on a 10-0 run. Pendrak made three layups while Szwec had a lay-in and a pair of free throws during the run.
As time was expiring in the first half, Pendrak collected a rebound and swished a ‘3’ from the top of the key to put Keuka ahead by 15 entering halftime.
Gravel’s fast-break layup with 13:24 remaining capped a 13-4 run and gave Keuka a 54-31 lead, and the Storm maintained a comfortable lead over the remainder of the game to remain in first place in the NEAC North.
