Solid guard play not enough against Hawks

UTICA, NY – Despite a combined 37 points from Emily Rexford (Canton, NY), Shi Williams (Syracuse, NY) and Raven Griffin (Syracuse, NY), the Herkimer Women's basketball team lost to Mohawk Valley Community College 90-54 Wednesday night.

She also added five rebounds, two assists and three steals to her 36 minutes of play. Griffin scored eight points, grabbed two rebounds and had one assist.
