Slow Start Costs TC3 Women; Panthers Can't Climb Out of First-Half Hole

November 19, 2012

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. – A slow first half was too much for the Tompkins Cortland Community College women's basketball team to overcome Sunday as the Panthers lost at SUNY Adirondack 74-67. The loss drops TC3 to 1-4 overall and 1-2 in Region III contests.

The first half was rough for the Panthers, as Adirondack outscored TC3 40-27. The Panthers turned things around in the second half but couldn’t come all the way back, falling by the seven-point final.

Becca Holton (Cape Fear Academy (N.C.)/Reykjavik, Iceland) had another big scoring day, pouring in 20 points. Meghan Ideman (Moravia H.S./Moravia) posted 12 points while grabbing five rebounds. Audrey Kate Ordway (Dryden H.S./Dryden) pulled down a game-high seven rebounds to go with eight points.

TC3 is off until November 28 when the Panthers play host to Herkimer County Community College.
