G-MU 45, Edmeston 41
COPES CORNERS – G-MU overcame foul trouble to leading scorer Tanya Barnes and an early eight-point deficit to defeat Edmeston Monday night in a game rescheduled from last week.
Barnes picked up her third foul early in the second period with her team already struggling. “We came out a little flat coming off a tough game with Morris last week,” said G-MU coach Jim Johnson, whose club clinched a tie for the Tri-Valley League division title with the win. “We played good defense (with Tanya out) and persevered until halftime getting it back to a four-point game.”
The Raiders scored the first eight points of the third quarter to claim the lead for good. They extended the lead to 11 points in the fourth until Edmeston’s Emily Holdorf caught fire. Holdorf hit two three-pointers in the last quarter and scored all 11 of her points over the final eight minutes pulling her club within four.
“We were playing well and scoring points and they were playing well and scoring points,” Johnson said. “I thought we had a comfortable lead, but they kept firing back.”
Barnes hit two late free throws to help clinch the win, and finished with 16 points. Miranda Hill had 10 for the Raiders, who host Laurens tonight.

Cooperstown 50, Sherburne-Earlville 49
SHERBURNE – Cooperstown ended Sherburne-Earlville’s eight-game winning streak, and avenged a 22-point loss to the Marauders from earlier this season on Monday night.
Emma Rheinmiller stole an S-E inbounds pass with less than 12 seconds left, and scored the game-winning basket for the Redskins.
“Give their defense some credit, they made everything difficult for us,” said S-E coach Karen Mulligan. “They pressure the ball and we turned it over 20 times. You can’t do that against good teams and expect to win.”
S-E’s Caitlynn Adams led her team with 20 points, Bridget Irwin scored 12, and Cassie Beaver had 10. The Marauders play at Madison Saturday.
