Cortland Defeats Neumann, 79-60, for Third Place at Drew Tournament

MADISON, N.J. – Fourteen Cortland players reached the scoring column, led by Corinne Miedreich's (Pearl River) 18 points and all-tournament team selection Casey Travers' (Manorville/Eastport-South Manor) 16 points, as the Red Dragons defeated Neumann University, 79-60, in the third-place game of Drew University's Rose City Classic. 
 
Miedreich, in just her second collegiate game, hit 6-of-9 shots, including 3-of-4 from long distance. She also was 3-for-4 from the foul line and grabbed five rebounds. Travers, coming off an 18-point effort in the opening round versus Misericordia, had a similar stat line to Miedriech against Neumann with 6-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-5 from the arc, along with seven rebounds. 
 
Nyia Longford (Medford/Longwood) joined Miedreich and Travers in double figures with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting and had six rebounds. Abby McCoy (Franklinville/Ten Broeck Academy) finished with eight points and Logan Streety (Elma/Iroquois) added six points and a team-high eight rebounds. Shannon McGuire (West Babylon) led the Red Dragons with five assists and Maggie Malone (Cornwall) handed out three assists. 
 
For Neumann (1-2), Tierra Harris was 8-of-13 from the floor for 16 points, Madison Stewart scored 12 points and led the Knights with four assists and six steals, and Dymond Collins pulled down eight rebounds. 
 
Cortland opened the game on a 12-0 run, but Neumann came back with eight straight points to cut the Red Dragon lead to four. The Red Dragons pushed their lead to 11 at 19-8 and led 22-14 at the end of the first quarter. The key stretch for Cortland came midway through the second quarter when a 31-23 lead grew to 38-23 on a Miedreich 3-pointer, a Streety jumper and a Longford layup. 
 
Cortland led 40-25 at halftime and by as many as 23 points in the third quarter. Neumann got back as close as 14 points twice in the final four minutes. 
 
Cortland returns to action on Tuesday with a 5:30 p.m. non-league game at Hartwick.
