WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
 

• Cobleskill scored nine-straight on their home floor before the Hawks could get on the board in the 1^st quarter.
• Bree Fargnoli (Binghamton, N.Y.) put the Hawks on the board with a layup and subsequent free throw after she was fouled on the shot.
• Yadi Smith (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) drilled a three thirty seconds later to jumpstart the Hartwick offense.
• The Hawks got a handful of defensive stops and began to chip away at the Fighting Tigers' lead.
• A steal by Caitie Unger (Warwick, N.Y.) at mid-court turned into a fastbreak layup by Sareena DiCerbo (Schenectady, N.Y.) to knot the score up at 13-13.
• Macy Durkin (Syracuse, N.Y.) gave Hartwick a brief lead with a three from the corner with just over a minute remaining in the corner.
• However, Cobleskill was able to tie the score back up once again just before the end of the 1^st.
• The Fighting Tigers quieted Hartwick's offense in the 2^nd, holding the visitors to just nine points in the quarter.
• The Hawks did not let Cobleskill get too far, picking up a big stop in the closing seconds of the half to stay within striking distance.

• Daniella DeBiase (Staten Island, N.Y.) converted the old-fashion three-point play with 1:31 remaining in the contest to get Hartwick within 10, but it was not enough down the stretch as Cobleskill closed out the win from the line to claim the 61-49 non-conference win.
• Durkin posted a career-high 16 points in the loss, going 3 for 4 from behind the arc and 5 for 10 overall from the field.
