(Averill Park)

 

Albany Academy grabbed the win over Saranac 46-30 in a Class B Sub-Regional game. The Bears move on to the Regional Final vs. Gouverneur on Saturday at SUNY Potsdam at 1 p.m.


Albany Academy used a stifling defense, holding the Spartans to two made field goals in the second half, to break open a close contest.

The Bears held a slim 3-point margin at the start of the fourth quarter. An Emily Thornton corner three pointer, with 1:27 left in the thrid period, off of an Alex Leonard pass gave Academy a 30-27 lead heading into the fourth quarter. It would be the last time the Bears trailed or were tied.

Albany Academy outscored Saranac 16-3 in the final frame, including scoring the last twelve points of the contest, holding the Spartans scoreless for the final six minutes of the game to secure the win.

Saranac held a modest 3-point edge at the commencement of quarter two.

The outcome was still in limbo as the teams went to the first half intermission with Saranac grabbing a slight lead. The Spartans led by as many as six points in the first half and made Albany Academy work on offense with their tough zone defense.

Alex Leonard showed the way for the Bears with 16 points. Eva Gitto netted 9 points.
The Bears manufactored 7 buckets from three point range.
Alex Leonard made 3 three-pointers.

Layla Pellerin helped the cause for Saranac with 13 points. Brenna Ducatte racked up 10 points.
