JAMAICA, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury women's basketball rolled past the York Cardinals (2-9) Wednesday evening with an 86-56 non-conference road victory from York College Gym.  The Panthers won their sixth game in a row, their longest win streak since January 2013, and moves into the 2016 calendar year with an 8-2 record. 

The game featured one tie as York's Samantha Bond made it a 2-2 game 1:17 into play.  Crystal Barnes put Old Westbury up for good with a layup 1:16 later for the Panthers' wire-to-wire victory.  Bond kept the Cardinals within striking distance by scoring 12 of York's 16 first-quarter points. 

Clinging to a 19-16 lead at the end of 10 minutes of play, Raven Pentz connected on a three pointer to spark a 15-2 Panther run to make it a 34-18 game.  York answered with a 9-4 spurt to cut the deficit down to nine points (38-29) with 2:19 remaining in the half.  Jasmine Robinson dropped in a layup to put the Panthers up by double digits for good as Old Westbury took a 40-29 lead into intermission.     

Bridgid McNeill's layup gave Old Westbury its first 20-point lead (57-37) of the game with 3:35 left in the third quarter.  Old Westbury's lead later blossomed to 23 points (63-40) off a layup by Monique Joseph.  York's Angelika Ruggiano netted four-straight points to trim the deficit to 19 points (63-44) with 28 seconds remaining.  Nikki Alexander answered for Old Westbury with a layup 10 seconds later to bring the lead back to 20-plus points.
