Keuka College junior Brooke Burd (Canisteo, N.Y. / Canisteo-Greenwood) recorded her seventh career double-double on Saturday, leading the Wolves to a 66–42 road win over SUNY Delhi.
Burd paced Keuka (2–2) with 16 points and 18 rebounds. Mary Cotter (Hershey, Pa. / Hershey) added 13 points, while guards Lillian Mullen (Canisteo, N.Y. / Canisteo-Greenwood) and Courtney Moreau (Brasher Falls, N.Y. / Brasher Falls) combined for nine assists to guide the offense.
The Wolves controlled a low-scoring first quarter. After an offensive rebound and layup by Emilee Bacon (Buffalo, N.Y. / Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart) made it 10–6, Maddie Kramer (Ringwood, Pa. / Nativity BVM) and Moreau followed with layups to extend the lead. In the final seconds, Janea Hamilton-Brown (Liverpool, N.Y. / Liverpool) came up with a steal and converted both free throws, giving Keuka an 18–8 lead after one.
Cotter opened the second quarter with back-to-back layups, and the Wolves continued to control the pace. Keuka outscored the Broncos 17–10 in the frame and took a 35–18 lead into halftime.
SUNY Delhi made a push in the third, using full-court pressure to spark a 12–3 run that cut Keuka’s lead to 42–32. The Wolves answered immediately, fueled by Cotter, who scored the final seven points of the quarter as Keuka rebuilt its lead to 49–32.
The Wolves put the game out of reach early in the fourth, scoring the first 10 points to extend their run to 17 straight and push the margin to 59–32. Delhi didn’t score until the 5:01 mark, and Keuka closed out the 66–42 win comfortably.
