@OW_Panthers Women’s Basketball tangles with Sage in rematch of 2016 Skyline Conference Championship game

Old Westbury returns home Dec. 10 to continue Skyline Conference action versus United States Merchant Marine Academy

ALBANY, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury women's basketball were unable to overcome an early deficit en route to falling 65-53 to The Sage Colleges Gators (3-4, 1-1 Skyline) in a rematch of the 2016 Skyline Conference Championship game Saturday afternoon in Albany, New York.  The loss snapped Old Westbury's four-game winning streak to push its record to 4-1 on the season and 1-1 in conference play.

Following a layup by Jasmine Robinson 44 seconds in, Monique Joseph's putback gave the Panthers their only lead (4-2) of the game with 8:45 remaining.  Emily Parslow's jumper sparked an 11-4 run to put Sage ahead 12-10.  Old Westbury tied the game at 12 with 3:44 left in the opening period off a Ruth Vargas layup before Sage closed out the quarter with five unanswered points (17-12).  Sage pushed its advantage to 12 in the second stanza with Parslow's jumper at 1:38.  With 45 seconds left, Tyra Bellings' free throw sliced Old Westbury's deficit to seven (33-26).  Parslow knocked down a pair of free-throws to send Sage into intermission with a 35-26 lead.

Kaitlyn Bowman's layup extended Sage's lead to a game-high 14 points (40-26) with 7:41 remaining in the third quarter.  Vargas's layup ignited an 8-1 Panther run to cut the deficit to seven (41-34) before Bowman's layup sparked an 8-0 run to close the period to put the Gators ahead 49-35.  Old Westbury pulled within eight (56-48) midway through the final period off Imani Lariosa's 3-pointer.  Genevieve Schoff then laid-in two points to give Sage the double-digit lead for good with 4:09 showing on the fourth-quarter clock.  

Tori Bellings finished with 16 points (7-of-11 FG), three assists and three steals to lead Old Westbury.  Vargas followed with 11 points, nine rebounds (five offensive) and three steals.  Robinson chipped in with seven points, six assists and two steals while Joseph grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds (seven offensive).

Bowman led all scorers with 26 points (10-of-18 FG) to go with 13 rebounds (five offensive).  Parslow poured in 14 points and dished-out six assists while Schoff grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds (six offensive) in addition to scoring 11 points.

In the end, Old Westbury connected on 30.1 percent (22-of-73) from the field, 21.1 percent (4-of-19) from three-point range and 62.5 percent (5-of-8) from the free-throw line.  By comparison, Sage hit on 37.1 percent (23-of-62) from the floor, 18.8 percent (3-of-16) from beyond the arc and 69.6 percent (16-of-23) from the charity stripe.  Sage won the boards battle, 53-33, while scoring 16 second-chance points off 20 offensive rebounds.  Old Westbury held the advantage in steals (12-5) and blocks (4-2) while scoring 15 points off 24 Sage turnovers.
