The Blue Devils (3-12, 1-7 SUNYAC) led at halftime 23-19, fell behind briefly early in the second half, then took the lead for good, 28-27, on a layup by freshman James Kane (West Seneca/Bishop Timon). Kane then made a free throw to complete a three-point play with 14:27 remaining.

Senior guard Taha Alassari (Brooklyn/Sweet Home) had 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while Kane added 14 points, and senior forward Kevin Reichlmayr (Rochester/Aquinas Institute) had 10 points and nine rebounds. It was the 14th straight game Reichlmayr has scored in double figures.
