Visiting Morrisville State College women's basketball shot a mere 21 percent in the second half as host SUNY Brockport picked up the 73-63 non-conference victory Friday night in Brockport.



Morrisville State drops to 1-7 overall, while Brockport picks up just their second win of the season, improving to 2-7.



Nijah Townsend (Bronx, NY) posted a game high 26 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Morrisville State's efforts, while teammate Nijee Scott (Bronx, NY) added 14 points, grabbed eight boards, and assisted a team best seven.

Morrisville State shot 36 percent from the floor, but could only muster one out of 16 from behind the arc on the night, while Brockport hit nearly 44 percent from the floor, including 7-of-18 from downtown.
