MONTCLAIR, NJ --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury women's basketball concluded their 2018 season Friday evening after advancing to the NCAA Division III Championship for the second time in three seasons. The Panthers lost a 90-69 first-round decision to the host #22 Montclair State University Red Hawks (24-3) from Panzer Athletic Center in Montclair, New Jersey.
