A slow start found Ithaca down 2-9, but the team pulled together to lead 14-12 after one quarter. We headed to the lockers up 26-25, and led 47-44 after three. The game stayed close through the fourth and the teams were knotted 57-57 with about 2 1/2 minutes left. The Little Red then proceeded to put on a clinic for their home fans. On the offensive end, some nice footwork by Mike and Kody contributed a pair of jumpers. Their balanced attack also featured defense: Fode shot off the baseline and took a steal coast-to-coast for two, and David threw a nice outlet after a pick of his own. The crowd went wild on Jobe's no-look pass to Fode to finish a fast break and the Little Red's 14-2 closing run dismantled their opponents, sealing the victory!
