Canisteo-Greenwood 70, Campbell-Savona 25
ALFRED — The Lady Chargers of Canisteo-Greenwood pieced together a complete team effort from start to finish, as every scorer managed to navigate their way to the basket, using a fast start to their fullest of advantages to roll past the Lady Panthers of Campbell-Savona on Wednesday inside the McLane Center at Alfred University with a 70-25 win — the 100th for the program under seventh-year head coach Les York.

Wyatt Evingham gave a solid performance last night, adding 7 points and 7 assists. “Wyatt played with great energy,” reflected Scholes. “I thought his motor was running high all night.
