HOW IT HAPPENED

The Bengals struck early with a 7-0 run after Geneseo's opening 3-pointer.
A 3-pointer by Cornfield at the 2:53 mark gave the Bengals what ended up being their largest lead of the game at five (10-5).
Geneseo scored six unanswered points in the final 1:42, taking a 14-12 lead into the second quarter.
The Knights extended their first-half lead to as many as six points after a Kiley Snow 3-pointer gave the visitors a 24-18 lead.
Grace Carey (Grand Island, NY/Grand Island) then hit a 3-pointer, igniting an 8-0 Bengal run to take the lead, at 26-24.
The Knights once again closed the period strong, as Lauren Romino scored four points, including a buzzer-beating layup, taking a 28-26 lead into halftime.
Down five early in the third quarter, the Bengals worked to tie the game, as a Heaven Rollek (Springville, NY/Springville-Griffith) steal led to a Cornfield transition bucket, tying the game at 33.
Geneseo slowly pulled away from there, finishing the period with a 15-6 advantage to take a 48-39 lead into the final quarter.
The Knights extended their lead to double-digits in the fourth quarter, leading by as many as 14 points (60-46) at the 2:20 mark.
