LADY PANTHERS HOLD OFF CCNY, WIN BY ELEVEN
(New York, NY) Tuesday, February 17, 2004 --- Nat Holman Gym was the site of the 58-47 Lady Panther win. The first five and a half minutes of basketball in the second half proved to be decisive. Visiting Old Westbury (12-12, 4-8 Skyline) led by eight at halftime, but City College rallied to tie the game at 31-31 on a three point FG by Kim Neos. However, the Lady Panthers roared back and built a comfortable lead on solid play by Rachele Yambaye and Akeisha Cumberbatch. Yambaye would finish with 14 points, 12 rebounds. Cumberbatch hit a two pointer with about five minutes remaining, which gave the Lady Panthers a 54-39 lead, their biggest of the night.
