(Potsdam, N.Y.)- SUNY Canton overcame a difficult shooting night to capture a 63-43 win over the University of Maine at Machias Sunday afternoon in a women's Sunrise conference basketball game at Clarkson University. The Roos remained undefeated in the conference with a 3-0 record and moved to 4-10 overall.

Holding a 25-20 halftime lead, SUNY Canton scored six straight points to open the half to stretch the lead to 11. The Roos lead stayed in double figures for most of the second half.
