Junior Teddy Tuggles (Rochester, NY/Gates Chili) averaged 16.5 points and seven rebounds per game over two contests for the Keuka’s men’s basketball team.

The second-year member of the Storm scored 10 first-half points and added six in the second half to easily surpass her previous career-high of 11 points, set during a Jan. 8 win over Penn State-Berks.

Facing Abington, Chamberlain scored a career-high 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds as the Storm (13-5, 11-3 NEAC) won 65-51 Sunday afternoon in Abington, PA. Chamberlain shot 8-for-12 (75 percent) from the floor as the Storm picked up its fifth NEAC win in its last six games. Chamberlain’s 75-percent shooting performance was also a career-best.

Chamberlain, who scored 59 points over Keuka’s first 14 games, scored 37 points over the weekend as the Storm remained in second place in the NEAC North Division with three conference games remaining. The top three teams in each division advance into the NEAC postseason tournament, which runs Feb. 21-26.
