"We were not ready to play this morning," said head coach Kim Brown. "We did not push tempo in the first half, and we allowed too many easy catches for Southern Cayuga."
SC would take a 40-33 lead headed into the final quarter.
"Our tempo and effort was much better in the third quarter, however we were not able to cut the deficit," said Brown.
Dryden would cut the lead to four points with possession, but they could never get any closer.
"We had possession, but we took contested shots on both possessions," said Brown. "Anytime you finish with 46 total rebounds, you typically win at the high school level, however when you shoot 28.6% from the field, you have to find other ways to win, and we were unable to do that."
