Knights Fall at Ithaca

Ithaca, NY – Falling behind early in the first quarter, the Clarkson University Women's Basketball team was playing catch up virtually the entire game and ended up on the short side of a 73-43 decision against Ithaca College Friday night.

The Golden Knights dropped to 7-14 overall and 3-12 in the Liberty League while Ithaca maintained its hold on first place, moving to 17-5 and 13-2. Clarkson will take on Skidmore College on Saturday afternoon.

Ithaca came out strong in the first quarter, shooting 13-for-20 from the field, and the Bombers took a 16-2 lead before the first five minutes expired from the clock. Mariah Benavides ended the run with a 3-pointer at the 4:53 mark, but Clarkson struggled overall in the first 10 minutes. Benavides and fellow freshman Elaina Porter combined for nine points on 4-for-6 shooting, but the rest of the team shot 0-for-10.

Down by 18 to start the second quarter, Clarkson played a little more evenly despite some continued struggles on offense. The Knights edged back to within 16 at the 7:03 mark when Maddie Pratt buried a 3-pointer to make the score 33-17, but Clarkson would not score again until the final minute when Hannah Earl hit a 3-pointer with 20 seconds to go. Fortunately for Clarkson, Ithaca wasn't particularly hot in that stretch, scoring only seven points in the last seven minutes of the half.

The third quarter was similar to the first, as Clarkson shot just 20.0% (3-for-15), with most of those misses coming during a late scoreless stretch. Elaina Porter hit a jumper at the 6:33 mark to get back with 18 points, but the Knights were held without a field goal for the rest of the period as Ithaca went on a 13-1 run. The fourth quarter saw the Knights get within 26 points twice, but by the end of the period it was still a 30-point game.

Hannah Earl and Elaina Porter each scored eight points to lead the Knights, while Lauren Bell contributed seven points and eight rebounds. Cassidy O'Malley led all scorers with 16 points, shooting 8-for-10 from the field for Ithaca. Grace Cannon was 5-for-9 with 11 points and Abbi Field made five of her six tries from the floor for 10 points. Ithaca finished with 15 steals, forcing Clarkson to commit 20 turnovers.
