Big Run to Start Third Pushes Knights Past SLU, 69-64

Canton, NY – A 26-3 run overlapped the second and third quarters for the Clarkson University Women's Basketball team, as a nine-point deficit turned into a double-digit lead for the Golden Knights with the Green and Gold gaining a 69-64 victory over St. Lawrence on Tuesday night.

The Golden Knights improved to 2-2 on the season while the Saints dropped to 1-2. Clarkson will host NVU-Johnson at 5:30 pm on Friday, a night on which the Green and Gold will celebrate its seniors.

At the start of the game, the Knights found themselves quickly down by five but chipped away at the early deficit to get back within one (7-6) and two (12-10) near the midway point of the quarter. The Saints responded with six straight points for an 18-10 advantage, only to see the Knights record eight of their own tie the game at 18-18. One final basket for the Saints gave St. Lawrence the lead at the first break.

On the first possession of the second quarter, the Knights tied the game with an offensive put back from Maddie Pratt, but Clarkson shot just 1-for-7 and had three turnovers over the next five minutes, watching the Saints go on an 11-2 run to give St. Lawrence its biggest lead of the contest at nine points (31-22). Carly Assimon ended the offensive drought with a 3-pointer at the 3:45 mark, sparking a 12-3 run to end the half as Maddie Pratt converted inside in the final minute to tie the game at 34-34.

Clarkson made sure that the intermission would not halt its momentum as the Knights came out of the break with two quick jumpers by Emma Buonanno and a 3-pointer by Molly Stewart in roughly 90 seconds. That was not the end of the streak, however, as Clarkson added seven more points to its 14-0 run to begin the third quarter. During that run, the Saints struggled to get shots off, going 0-for-4 with six turnovers before finally ending its scoreless streak at the 4:25 mark when Olivia Middleton scored on a layup in traffic underneath.

Although St. Lawrence's basket midway through the third halted its struggles temporarily, Clarkson kept the Saints at a safe distance, maintaining a double-digit advantage for the rest of the third quarter and the first few minutes of the fourth when Katie Chisolm made the score 57-48. The advantage would get trimmed to just six when Middleton hit a 3-pointer at the 4:32 mark, but a put back by Lauren Bell and a bounce-in jumper by Bell returned the advantage to 10 for the Knights. St. Lawrence would get back into the game in the final minute by forcing turnovers, but two clutch free throws by Carly Assimon with 16 seconds to go put the game away for the Knights.

Molly Stewart finished with 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting with four assists, while Maddie Pratt and Lauren Bell came off the bench with 12 and 11 points, respectively, combining to shoot 11-for-16 from the floor. Emma Buonanno snagged 10 rebounds and Rachel Marion was busy on defense with seven steals.

For St. Lawrence, Olivia Middleton contributed nearly half of St. Lawrence's offensive output with 28 points on 11-for-18 shooting, including four 3-pointers. Sierra Sanson was a rebound short of a double-double with 10 points and nine boards.
