The New Paltz State's women's hopes for a perfect season ended Friday evening, as the Hawks fell to Geneseo 73-43. The host Blue Knights (14-1, 8-1 SUNYAC) opened the game with an 11-0 run, pushing the lead to 18-3 before the Hawks began to rally back.
Geneseo (13-4, 9-2 SUNYAC) pulled out to a 22-7 lead when the Hawks closed the first half on a mirror-image 22-7 run to tie the game at 29. However, Geneseo opened the second half on a 20-0 run and never looked back.
No. 9 Lewis and Clark swept the regular-season series from No. 19 George Fox, defeating the Bruins 64-59. Kristina Williams was just 3-for-14 from the floor but made up for it at the foul line and had 11 rebounds in scoring 16 points.

The Emory men did likewise, upsetting the No. 19 Judges 69-55. Gabriel Moton scored 14 for Brandeis, but nobody else was in double figures as the Judges shot 39 percent from the floor. Jake Davis scored a game-high 18 and Michael Friedberg added 15 for the Eagles.
Frank Mitchell led five scorers in double figures with 19 points in Ithaca's 80-69 win against No. 20 Stevens. Travis Warech scored 14 points and added nine rebounds off the bench.
