Monday night was a big night for Finger Lakes East boys teams. Tuesday night it was the Finger Lakes East girls teams showing out with Midlakes and Pal-Mac advancing in Class B1 while Waterloo and Penn Yan advanced in B2.
#2 Midlakes held off a stiff challenge from the #7 Wayne Eagles to win 65-40 in Clifton Springs. Grace Murphy paced the Screaming Eagles with 15 points while fellow sophomore Cate Peacock scored 12. Aly Johnson led Wayne with 12 points while Aaliyah Zenelovic pulled down 11 rebounds. Meanwhile in the same Class B1 bracket, top-seed Pal-Mac rolled past league-mate #8 Newark en route to a 56-24 win.
Undefeated at #1 seed in Class B2, the Waterloo girls varsity squad continues to obliterate opponents as they storm into the semifinals with an 86-22 win over Wayland-Cohocton. Macy Carr led the Indians with 21 points while Giavanna White-Principio scored 14. Waterloo will host Wellsville in the semifinals on Thursday night after the Tigers defeated North Rose-Wolcott by a 5 point margin.

In the closest game of the night the Geneva Panthers lost a heartbreaker at Greece-Athena, 77-76. Panther senior Devon Martin hit an incredible three pointer to beat the shot clock and tie the game with 4 seconds remaining but Greece-Athena was fouled on the final shot attempt and sank the second of two free throw attempts to end Geneva’s season in Class A2. With the loss, Geneva became the first Finger Lakes East boys team to exit Sectionals.
