@OW_Panthers Women’s Basketball takes Dr. Betty Shabazz Tournament title with Lasell win

Old Westbury opens its home slate Wednesday (Nov. 28) against York College (NY) after capturing the Dr. Betty Shabazz Tournament title for the third-straight year

BROOKLYN, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury women's basketball captured a 69-55 non-conference victory Sunday afternoon over the Lasell College Lasers (2-4) to win the Dr. Betty Shabazz Tournament championship for the third-straight year from Cougars Cave in Brooklyn.  The Panthers (4-0) open the campaign on a four-game winning streak for the third-consecutive season.

Micah Browne averaged 20.0 points (51.7% FG, 71.4% FT), 6.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in two games to be recognized as the tournament's Most Valuable Player as well as a member of the all-tournament team.  Charlotte Renker contributed 11.5 points (58.8% FG), 11.0 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game to join Browne on the all-tournament team.
 
Renker's layup six seconds into the opening quarter started a 10-4 Old Westbury run with 4:58 remaining.  Lasell responded with four-consecutive triples that kickstarted a 12-6 spurt during a stretch of 3:54 to knot the game at 16 heading into the second quarter.  Davida Warren's layup ignited an 8-3 Panther run 31 seconds into the stanza to grab a 24-19 lead.  Breanna Muir scored five of Lasell's next seven points over the course of 1:16 of play to give the Lasers their lone lead of the game (27-26).  From there, Old Westbury scored eight-unanswered points over the next 3:08 to take a 34-27 advantage into the break.
 
The Panthers came out of intermission strong with nine-straight points capped off by Renker's layup with 5:33 remaining in the third period to extend the lead to 16 (43-27).  Defensively, the Panthers picked up the intensity as they refused to forfeit a point until D'Asia Allen sank a pair of free throws with 4:07 left in the stanza to cut the Laser deficit to 14 (43-29).  Playing with a 17-point cushion heading in to the final quarter (53-36), the Panthers opened the period by creating a 10-2 run capped by Alessia Drevnyak's layup to build a game-high 25-point lead (63-38) with 5:06 to play.  Lasell used a 17-6 run to pull within 14 points with four seconds left to settle the 69-55 final.  
 
Renker dominated by scoring 20 points (9-of-14 FG) to go along with a game-high 18 rebounds to post her 31st-career double-double (third of the season).  Browne followed with 18 points (8-of-17 FG) and a game-high six assists to lead Old Westbury.
 
Allen poured in a game-high 22 points (7-of-14 FG, 6-of-13 3FG) while Muir put together a 19 point (8-of-18 FG) performance to pace Lasell.
 
In the end, Old Westbury shot 40.8 percent (29-of-71) from the field, 11.1 percent (1-of-9) from long range and 41.7 percent (10-of-24) from the free-throw line while Lasell fired away at 29.4 percent (20-of-68) from the floor, 27.8 percent (10-of-36) from beyond the arc and 71.4 percent (5-of-7) from the charity stripe.  The Panthers finished with a +30 (64-34) rebounding margin while outplaying the Lasers in blocks (5-2), assists (15-11), steals (10-8), points in the paint (52-16), second-chance points (16-5) and points off turnovers (16-8).  Lasell led the way in bench scoring (26-17).
