Knights Open 2026-27 With Five-Point Win Over Canton

Canton, NY – Three offensive rebounds in the final 10 seconds of the contest helped the Clarkson University Women's Basketball team secure enough possession time to eke out a 68-63 win over SUNY Canton on Tuesday evening.

The Golden Knights open the season at 1-0 while the Kangaroos suffered their first loss to drop to 2-1. Clarkson is on the road for two contests this weekend, playing Middlebury on Saturday afternoon and Hartwick on Sunday afternoon.

The Golden Knights opened the contest with a solid performance from beyond the 3-point arc, going 5-for-8 from distance. It wasn't until the final layup from Elizabeth Aiossa with 24 seconds to go in the first period that Clarkson made a shot inside the arch, but that basket made it 17-15 in favor of the Knights.

Canton would briefly take the lead in the second quarter, but neither team led the game get away. In the final two minutes, Jessica Melick, Aiossa, and Maddy Polky each made shots in the paint to help build a six-point lead for Clarkson, but a shot from Sierra Pabo in the final seconds put the margin at four at the break.

Clarkson edged out to a five-point lead following a 3-pointer from Addie Kea at 7:44, but the Knights went cold from that point as Canton took the lead and pushed it to three points on a Phoenix Pedgeon 3-pointer with 1:02 left. The gap was still three at 8:44 remaining in the fourth quarter, but it was the Roos turn to have trouble from the field. Canton didn't make another shot from the floor for nearly seven minutes when a layup from Kate Grainger finally broke the streak.

With less than 20 seconds to go, Aiossa made a free throw to make it a two-possession game as Clarkson led by four. The Roos scored a basket at the other end to get back within two, but from that point on Canton had to foul. Each time the Knights got to the line, they were able to get offensive rebounds to keep the Roos from getting further opportunities and the Green and Gold made enough free throws in that run to return the gap to five by the time that Canton finally got a rebound with one second left.

Aiossa scored 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting and Jessica Melick added 16 with three blocks. Addie Kea also scored 15 and produced four assists. Vivian Bibeau had nine rebounds and Emma Chambers added eight boards.

For Canton, Kathleen McRobbie led all scorers with 18 points, going 7-for-8 from the field. Sierra Pabo added 14 points and six assists, Phoenix Pedgeon had 12 points and three steals, and Kate Grainger was a point shy of a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds.
