Canton, NY – Sophomore Jenifer Morgan-Aubin (Hartford, NY) posted her first career double-double on 17 points and 15 rebounds but it wasn't enough as the SUNY Canton women's basketball team dropped a 63-41 decision to visiting SUNY Potsdam on Friday.

The Bears doubled Canton up 20-10 in the third quarter to take a 21 point lead after three quarters. The Roos hung tough trailing the Bears just 17-16 over the final 10 minutes for the 63-41 final.

Morgan-Aubin established her presence throughout finishing with game-highs of 17 points and 15 rebounds hitting on six of her 13 field goal attempts. Randi Conway (Mount Upton, NY) and Taylor Saltus (Clintonville, NY) posted seven points each and combined for 15 rebounds.
