The Pioneers outscored Medaille 15-9 in the 2nd quarter and trailed 29-25 at the break. Medaille came out hot in the 2nd half and built their lead to 55-33 early in the 4th quarter before Alfred State put together a furious rally. The blue & gold cut the lead to 64-58 in the final minute but couldn't any closer. ASC outscored Medaille 25-12 in the final ten minutes.
