Medina stayed within two at 15-13 early in the second quarter after baskets by Blount and Gross but Newfane answered with an 11-0 run to close the period and take control.

A three-point play by Knight ignited that spurt which included tallies by five different players and vaulted the Lady Panthers into a 26-13 halftime advantage.

Horning and Littman both scored a pair of baskets in the third period to help keep Newfane in command by 14, 38-24, at the three-quarter mark.
