Gameday Program

OLD WESTBURY, NY (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) - The SUNY College at Old Westbury women's basketball team captured a convincing 72-54 Skyline Conference victory at home Tuesday evening against the St. Joseph's (L.I.) Golden Eagles from Clark Athletic Center.  With the season sweep of St. Joseph's (L.I.), Old Westbury (9-10) improves to 3-4 in conference play while sending the Golden Eagles' (4-15) league record to 2-6.

Crystal Barnes paced the Panthers with her team-leading ninth double-double of the season, contributing game-highs of 16 points, 17 rebounds and two blocks to the win.  Raven Pentz followed with 14 points, four steals and four rebounds while Nikki Alexander produced nine rebounds and seven points in 13 minutes off the bench.  Chloe Mellon added nine points, six rebounds and two steals.  Clarissa Gallagher (2-5 3FG) and Jasmine Robinson each chipped in with eight points.

The Golden Eagles were led by Andrea Iavarone's 13 points and 10 rebounds.  Claire Brady and Meaghan Haber followed with 11 and 10 points, respectively. 

Moments after taking a 2-0 lead, Old Westbury added to its margin with a 5-0 run as Barnes accounted for all seven of the Panthers' points 3:44 into play.  St. Joseph's (L.I.) answered with a 14-3 run from 15:52 to 10:49 to take a 16-10 lead.  Jennifer Gubell then gave the Golden Eagles its largest lead of the game after connecting on a jumper at the 9:12 mark for an eight-point cushion (20-12).  Old Westbury responded with a 12-2 spree for a brief 24-22 lead with 4:12 remaining.  Both teams scored 12 points apiece over the final 3:36 as the Panthers held a 36-34 advantage at the half. Old Westbury closed out the first-half scoring off Bridgid McNeill's free throws with 15 seconds left to grab the lead for good. 

Old Westbury roared out of the second-half gates and never looked back, using a 15-4 run from 15:46 to 8:47 to grab a 55-42 lead.  The Golden Eagles pulled within eight points before Old Westbury's lead blossomed to as many as 19 points off an 11-0 run in the closing minutes.     

In the end, Old Westbury shot 41 percent from the field (25-61), 16.7 percent from three-point range (2-12) and 60.6 percent from the free-throw line (20-33) while the Golden Eagles were limited to 25.7 percent shooting from the floor (19-74), 25 percent from beyond the arc (6-24) and 45.5 percent from the charity stripe (10-22).  Old Westbury won the boards battle, 60-45, scoring 12 points off 16 offensive rebounds.  Old Westbury nabbed 11 steals and scored 18 points off 18 Golden Eagle turnovers.  

MOUNT SAINT VINCENT DOLPHINS UP NEXT FOR THE PANTHERS: Old Westbury will look to build on Tuesday's win when they take on the visiting Mount Saint Vincent Dolphins on Thursday (Feb. 5) in a Skyline Conference battle at 6 p.m. from Clark Athletic Center.
