In the second half, Ken Woodard (Bronx, NY) made his presence felt in the post, scoring Herkimer's first six points, accumulating two offensive rebounds and a block in the process. He finished the game with a team-high 11. The Generals eventually ballooned the lead from 16-to-23 after three-point field goals by Jallah Tarver (Schenectady, NY) and Jamell Johnson (Rochester, NY).
