FREDONIA, N.Y. -- The Fredonia women's basketball team made it a clean sweep of the North Country this weekend, disposing of Potsdam, 72-62, on Saturday. They defeated Plattsburgh the previous evening.

The Devils were led by Alexis Cheatham (Lockport, N.Y. / Lockport) with 16 points, including four three pointers. Jacque Law (Machias, N.Y. / Pioneer) added 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Kathryn Halloran (Angola, N.Y. / Immaculata) added 12 points with 10 boards. Jamie Curry (Ransomville, N.Y. / Wilson) had nine points and nine rebounds.

Potsdam drew first blood on a Carli Reynolds three pointer to open the game. Following a layup by Law at the 13:14 mark, the Devils went up 7-6 and would maintain the lead the rest of the way.

The team's biggest run came early on. With an 11-10 lead, Fredonia scored 10 straight to take a 21-10 advantage. Cheatham would convert a pair of three pointers during the run.

The Devils' largest lead of 13 points came midway through the second half, 51-38, following a three-point play by Halloran.

The Devils (5-6, 2-3 SUNYAC) dominated the boards 55-36, and shot a nifty seven of 10 from three-point range.

Potsdam (1-9, 0-4) was led by Bailey Weigel with 24 points.

The women travel to Geneseo and Brockport next weekend.
