Women's basketball falls to St. Lawrence despite career-high 25 points from Glaz

CANTON, NY – Jessica Glaz (Rockaway Beach, NY/Scholars Academy) scored a career-high 25 points, but it was not enough as the RIT women's basketball team (10-4, 3-2 Liberty League) fell in a hard-fought battle to St. Lawrence (10-3, 4-1 Liberty League) 65-57 in a road Liberty League matchup on Saturday afternoon.
 
Glaz led the Tigers in scoring, as she tallied her 25 points on 7-for-12 shooting from the field, adding six rebounds. She drained five 3-pointers and was 6-for-6 from the foul line. Tara Lynch (Green Township, NJ/Newton) added 13 points, shooting 50 percent from the field, while Taylor Burns (Rochester, NY/Greece Odyssey) added eight points. Outside of Glaz, RIT shot just 5-of-14 from the foul line.
 
Kaelyn Kohlasch went a perfect 6-for-6 from the field, scoring 15 points to lead the Saints, who had three players score in double figures.
 
The Tigers were unable to respond to a solid defense in the battle of the top teams in the Liberty League. RIT finished the weekend with back-to-back losses for the first time this season.

RIT out-rebounded St. Lawrence, 32-27, while the Saints had 24 turnovers to RIT's 22. The big difference was St. Lawrence shot 50 percent from the field, while RIT shot just 38.5 percent.
 
The game was a low scoring one to start out. RIT and St. Lawrence battled to a 14-14 draw in the first quarter and 26-26 tie at halftime. In the third quarter the Saints defense held the Tigers to eight points, as they opened up a 39-34 lead after three. The two teams explained for 49 combined points in the final quarter.
 
In the fourth quarter, after a 3-point play by St. Lawrence's Jenny Scudder gave the Saints their largest lead of the game at 12, the Tigers mounted a comeback. RIT went on a 12-2 run, bringing the deficit to within two, at 53-51. The Saints eventually pulled away for good, with a couple of clutch baskets by Kohlasch put the game away.
 
The Tigers will travel to Geneva, N.Y. to take on William Smith (4-8, 2-2 Liberty League) Tuesday night at 6 p.m.
