Cardinal Women Rally, But Fall Short at Norwich
NORTHFIELD, Vt. - Down 36-30 after the first half, the Plattsburgh State women's basketball team rallied back against host Norwich and scored 44 points in the second, but still fell just short of a victory. The Cardinals fell to the Cadets by a score of 75-74. Plattsburgh now stands 0-1 for the season, while Norwich holds a record of 1-0.
Though trailing for the majority of the game, the Cardinals posted their highest lead of the day just over 10 minutes into the first half when Ashley Gyscek tossed up a layup off an assist from Molly Harte to place Plattsburgh ahead by four. Norwich's Kylie Cowens answered back with a jumper from the paint, but Taylor Amarando quickly sank an unassisted jumper with 9:02 left to play in the first to keep the Cardinals ahead. Unfortunately, a foul by Plattsburgh's Stephanie McCoy would give Cowens the opportunity to sink two free throws and the Cadets would soon after take back the lead.
With under a minute left on the clock and Norwich leading, 71-64, Plattsburgh did its best to rally with a couple of three-pointers in the final seconds. After a three-pointer from Lyndsey Moore trimmed the Cadets’ lead to 75-74, the Cardinals stole the ensuing inbounds pass with 2.4 seconds left. Plattsburgh called for a timeout, but once the clock started again the Cardinals were unable to get off a decent shot and Norwich survived.
Amarando topped the Plattsburgh squad with 14 points during the contest, while Moore posted 13. All of Moore's points came during the second half, including a 3-for-5 mark from the arc. Amarando and Harte led the team with eight rebounds apiece, while Catherine Cassidy added seven assists and three steals to the effort.
For Norwich, Jess Jaggers posted a double-double with a game-high 17 points and 12 boards. Natalie Marchese dished out four assists for the Cadets, and Tara Stevenson added two blocks. Ally Daniels and Erica Rate each nabbed two steals.
All together, the Cardinals 43.5% (30-69) from the floor during the contest and 57.1% (8-14) from the free-throw line. Norwich recorded a field goal percentage of .426 (23-54) and shot .735 (25-34) from the line.
Next up, Plattsburgh will host its annual Cardinal Classic this Friday and Saturday. The action begins at 5 p.m. on Friday when the Cardinals take on Albany College of Pharmacy, followed by Baruch versus Castleton State at 7 p.m.
