• The second quarter did not go much better for the visitors. Even with Oneonta scoring the first five points, SUNY Canton went on a tear again with a 14-0 run capped by a layup from Kat McRobbie-Taru which put the Roos ahead 40-11 with just under four minutes left.
• Chelsie Tyler canned a pair at the line with under a minute left, and SUNY Canton was winning 43-15 at the break.

• Kat McRobbie-Taru was second on the team with 6-for-10 from the floor in her 12-point game and Kate Grainger scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds.
