The Buffalo, NY guard totaled 55 points throughout the weekend, earning her tournament MVP honors.
The Saints were able to bring much of their excitement after last night’s win over Bates College and were more than prepared as they stepped onto the court for Saturday’s game. The team dominated in the first half as the Builders did not appear ready to handle the pressure of an energetic Saints squad, as the Scarlet and Brown were able to break them down defensively and put up 43 points in the first half, compared to the Apprentice School’s 17.
But the second half was much closer as the Builders more than tripled their own score, with the Saints only having a six-point advantage in the second half, 43-37, but their efforts were not enough as after a powerful first half by the Saints, which earned them the championship title.
The Saints shot 52.6% from the field and forced the Builders to turn over the ball 23 times. St. Lawrence was 90% from the free throw line and had 20 assists, compared to the Apprentice School’s 10.

Junior Lauren Sischo was also named to the All-Tournament team after posting eight points against the Builders and tallying four assists, one steal, and three rebounds.
Classmate Katie Palmer came out and had an impressive game for the Saints, netting 18 points, three assists, and five rebounds on Saturday, while senior Amy Fortener also scored points in the double-digits with 12. Fortener also had three rebounds and one steal.

The Saints led throughout the entire game, having a nine-point lead with the game only 1:37 old. St. Lawrence controlled the ball and played a strong defensive game that was tough to beat, as Bates was never able to bring the score closer than six. In the first period, the Bobcats nearly cut the Saints’ 24-point lead in half as they closed the period down 40-27.
Despite the efforts of Bates, the Saints continued to inflate their lead and were not about to let the Bobcats shrink it down again, as the game ended with a Saints 65-42 win.

Plattsburgh ’s Vanessa Arthurton would tie the game 10-10 with 11:11 remaining after a layup, but Palmer would be sent back to the line and make two key free throws for St. Lawrence to give them a two-point lead with 9:18 on the clock.
The Cardinals did not let the Saints slip away, as they tied it once again with only 5:06 left in the first, but Wolff would make a shot from the paint to give the lead back to St. Lawrence with 4:46 left and would lead the Saints in a 6-1 run in the remaining minutes of the half, as the Buffalo, NY captain would score four, while Krzemien would end the period with a jumper to give the Saints a 24-17 advantage.
The Saints were able to get a double digit lead in the second half after a good free throw shot by senior captain Kim Sikule with 17:54 on the board, but Plattsburgh went on a 10-2 streak and got the score within two with 15:31 left to play. The Scarlet and Brown then took complete control of the court, scoring the next 13 points in less than four minutes to increase their lead to 15 with 11:50 remaining in the contest. The Saints never looked back as they dominated their way to their fourth win of the 2007-2008 campaign.
Despite shooting 7-for-27 from the field in the first half, the Saints were able to more than double their field goal percentage in the second half, shooting 17-for-30. The team was 20-for-25 in free throws, with Wolff, Parham, and first-year Katie Benzing being perfect from the line.
