Second-half surge sends @OW_Panthers Women’s Basketball to Skyline win at St. Joseph’s (Brooklyn)

Old Westbury returns to campus Tuesday (Dec. 5) for its home-opening against United States Merchant Marine Academy

BROOKLYN, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury women's basketball outscored the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) Bears (3-4, 1-2 Skyline) by 23 points in the second half to claim a 79-57 Skyline Conference road win Saturday afternoon inside Hill Center in Brooklyn, New York.  Old Westbury (3-0 Skyline) is off to a 5-0 for the first time since 2009-10.

Old Westbury jumped ahead early as Destiny Marino's jumper broke the scoring ice 1:01 in to start a 7-0 run.  With 20 seconds remaining, Charlotte Renker converted on a three-point play to score three of her seven first-quarter points to send an 18-9 game in Old Westbury's favor to the second period.   

Trailing 24-14 with 7:06 remaining in the half, St. Joseph's put together a 20-7 spurt to take three-point lead before Tori Bellings' layup trimmed Old Westbury's deficit to one (34-33) heading into intermission.

The Panthers got back on track in the second half by shooting 50 percent (5-of-10) from 3-point land in the final 20 minutes.  Monique Joseph made it a 38-36 game with 8:11 showing on the third-quarter clock to put Old Westbury ahead for good.  Old Westbury played with a double-digit lead for the remaining 13 minutes as Alexis Lopez knocked down a three pointer to make it a 51-39 game.  Alessia Drevnyak sank a pair of free throws with 1:45 remaining in the third period to ignite a 23-6 Panther run.  With two minutes left, Davida Warren's layup extended Old Westbury's lead to a game-high 26 points (73-47)  

Renker finished with 16 points and 20 rebounds (nine offensive) to register her second-straight double-double on the season (14th-career) to lead Old Westbury.  Joseph followed with 14 rebounds, 10 points, five assists and four steals to record her third double-double on the season (ninth-career).  Tori Bellings and Drevnyak scored 11 and 10 points, respectively.  Destiny Marino dished out five assists and nabbed two steals while Bridgid McNeill grabbed 10 rebounds (seven offensive).  Warren chipped in with a career-best three blocks.  

Victoria Porcasi led with a game-high 23 points (11-of-12 FT) to pace St. Joseph's.  Kelly O'Donnell chipped in with 12 points, six rebounds and three steals while Kelle O'Neill scored in 11 points.

In the end, Old Westbury connected on 42.5 percent (31-of-73) from the field, 40 percent (6-of-15) from 3-point range and 55 percent (11-of-20) from the free-throw line.  By comparison, St. Joseph's hit 26.9 percent (18-of-67) from the floor, 17.2 percent (5-of-29) from beyond the arc and 72.7 percent (16-of-22) from the charity stripe.  Old Westbury won the boards battle, 60-38, while scoring 20 second-chance points off 23 offensive rebounds. The Panthers held the advantage in assists (16-10), blocks (6-4), steals (9-7), points in the paint (38-22) and bench points (35-7).  Both teams finished with 10 fastbreak points.  Old Westbury also scored 20 points off 18 Bear turnovers.
