Down by 13 points to Eastridge as of the first basket of the second half, Brockport limited the Lancers to just three more field goals over the final two quarters to enable them to come back and win 40-38 in girls’ basketball.
Doralis Allen got the Blue Devils offense started as she hit a jumper on their third shot of the possession. That seemed to give everyone confidence shooting as Bryn Hayes and Lizzie Reynolds hit three-pointers on consecutive trips. An Allen free throw and a put-back by Lizzie Schultheis cut the lead to just four points at the end of the third quarter.
Reynolds opened the fourth quarter with a jump shot before Rowan Hamner and Hayes hit three free throws before a Schultheis lay-up gave Brockport their first lead of the game with 5:05 remaining.
Reynolds followed with another trey and, after an Eastridge three-pointer cut the lead to one, Hamner restored the two-point advantage with a free throw with 45 seconds left.
Eastridge had three possessions missing two free throws on one, two field goal attempts on another and having their last second attempt blocked by Schultheis—one of four on the night matching her season total entering the game.
Reynolds and Hamner led the Blue Devils with ten points each while Hayes added seven points and six rebounds. Schultheis had six points, 14 rebounds and five steals while Allen chipped in five points and five rebounds as Brockport improved their record to 6-3.
