FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Potsdam stayed atop the SUNYAC East Division with a 70-52 win Saturday over Fredonia State at Steele Hall.

Kathleen Lewis (Potsdam) led a balanced attack with 12 points, Rachel Graf (Elbridge) had 11 points, and Cortney Poirier (Moira) added 10 for the Bears (8-4, 4-0 SUNYAC).

Cheryl Kindzia (Williamsville/Williamsville North) collected 20 points for the Blue Devils (5-7, 0-4 SUNYAC). Maria Scaffidi (Buffalo/Holy Angels) added 11.

Potsdam never trailed in the game and led 30-21 at halftime. Up 44-34 with 12:39 remaining, the Bears put the game away with 20-5 run over the next seven minutes.

The Bears shot 53.3 percent from the field, including 68.8 percent (11 of 16) in the second half, compared to Fredonia State's 30.4 percent effort in the game.
