Shen knocks off Albany in top 10 match-up.
-In a game featuring two teams ranked in the top 10 of Class AA in NYS, Shenendehowa used a late 1st half run to take control of tight contest, and then extended the lead in the third period to defeat Albany 73-51.
-With the Plainsmen leading 19-17 midway through the 2nd quarter Albany's star guard Ahniysha Jackson picked up her third foul and sat out the remaining four minutes in the half. The Falcons did a great job of keeping the game close in her absence until the last 0:30 of the half when Shen went on a 6-0 run, turning a 3 point game into a 36-27 halftime deficit.
-Shenendehowa pushed their lead to 20 points in the third quarter but Albany rallied to cut the deficit to 11 right before the end of the period. Shen then answered Albany's 9-0 run with their own 11-0 run, in the 4th quarter, to put the game away.
The Plainsmen had three players in double figures led by Meghan Huerter with 21 points, Catherine Almeida with 14 points and Jessica Wagoner added 11 points.

-After forcing Watervliet into turnovers on their first four possessions of the game and jumping out to a 13-0 lead it looked as though Mekeel Christian were going to coast to an easy victory in this non-league clash. Especially since Watervliet had played a tough Colonial Council game last night and was on short rest. This however wasn't the case. In a game that featured 8 lead changes ,and multiple scoring runs by both teams, Mekeel Christian squeaked by Watervliet 61-60 at the Albany Armory on Saturday afternoon.
-After the quick Mekeel start Watervliet bounced back with a 19-5 second quarter advantage to grab a 30-26 lead at the break. The Cannoneers held the Lions to one made field goal in the 2nd quarter.
-Watervliet continued to lead throughout the third period and held a 43-38 advantage with under a minute left in the period. From that point on Mekeel grabbed control of the contest going on a 13-2 run giving them a 6 point cushion, 51-45, midway through the final period. The Cannonneers were able to cut the deficit to 1 point a couple of times throughout the last four minutes of the game but they never could regain the lead.
-Osvaldo Dejesus led the winners with 21 points scoring in a variety of ways and using great body control in the paint. Richard Rollins added 15 points, Joshua Winfield chipped in with 13 points and Alex Barnhill had 10 points.
