The celebration is on as the Plattsburgh Hornets pulled off the upset, 57-54. The #12 and Champlain Valley Athletic Conference-leading Saranac Lake would travel down to take on the Plattsburgh Hornets, as we are inside three weeks left in the season. The game would start tight as both teams had their shots falling, and the Hornets would lead 14-12 at the end of the first. The fast-paced offense would continue for both teams in the second quarter, as the Hornets would outscore the Hornets 18-12 and take a 32-24 lead at the intermission. When the teams returned for the third quarter, the Red Storm defense would be on display, and they would hold the Hornets to just nine points. But the Hornets' defense would be right there as well, and the Red Storm would only have 12, and it would be 41-36 Hornets headed to the fourth. In the fourth quarter, the Red Storm would give the HHornets their worst, as they tied the game a couple of times down the stretch and won the quarter 18-1. The Hornets would hold on for the 57-54 victory. In the winning effort, the Hornets get back to .500 on the season at 5-5, while the Red Storm falls to 11-2. Gallery
