For the second time this season, the Panthers women's basketball team held its opponent under 20 points. Hosting SUNY Broome on Sophomore Day, the Panthers rolled to a 65-16 win to improve to 7-11 overall and 5-7 in the Mid-State Athletic Conference. Broome drops to 3-19 overall and 0-13 in the MSAC.
After the teams traded baskets in the opening minute, it was all Panthers the rest of the way. The home team outscored their guest 24-5 in the first and never looked, allowing no more than five points in any quarter. The 16 points allowed is the second fewest ever by the Panthers, trailing just the 14 points allowed to North Country earlier this season.
Cassie Doane (Candor/Owego Free Academy) had a big double-double of 22 points and 16 rebounds, adding 5 steals to her stat line. Amyra Portillos (Sandia Park, N.M./Manzano H.S.) also a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds, along with 7 assists and 4 steals. Thalia Jackson (Glendale, Ariz./Raymond S. Kellis H.S.) scored 20 while pulling down 8 boards and Michaela Jean-Philippe (Binghamton/Binghamton H.S.) had a solid line of 8 steals, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds.
