PATCHOGUE, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury women's basketball claimed a season-series sweep against the St. Joseph's College (L.I.) Golden Eagles (3-17, 2-11 Skyline) for the fifth-straight year Thursday evening with a 81-66 Skyline Conference road win inside Danzi Center. The Panthers (16-4, 9-4 Skyline) have now won 10-consecutive games against St. Joseph's since the 2014-15 season.

Paige Jelinek scored back-to-back layups to give Old Westbury a 7-4 lead with 7:40 remaining in the opening quarter. St. Joseph's responded with a 17-6 run over the next 6:35 to gain an eight-point advantage (21-13). Alessia Drevnyak and Tori Bellings closed out the final 36 seconds with layups to trim Old Westbury's deficit to four (21-17) heading into the second stanza. The Panthers scored 10-straight points to open a second quarter in which they outscored the Golden Eagles by 16 (22-6). Jelinek stroked a jumper at 8:37 to give Old Westbury the lead for good. St. Joseph's pulled within three points (27-24) at the 6:14 mark before Jelinek poured in eight of her 12 first-half points during a 12-3 spurt to make it a 39-27 game at the break.

Playing ahead for the final 28:37, Old Westbury extended its lead to a game-high 19 points (52-33) off Davida Warren's layup with 5:02 left in the third quarter. Alyssa Signor scored five-straight points to slice the Golden Eagle deficit to 14 (52-38) with 3:12 remaining. The Panthers built their lead back up to 19 before St. Joseph's scored four-unanswered points to close out the final 37 seconds of the third period trailing by 15 (59-44). St. Joseph's turned up its intensity of the offensive end by using an 8-0 run to slice its double-digit disadvantage to seven points (59-52) with 8:31 showing on the fourth-quarter clock. Bellings would later cap off Old Westbury's 7-0 surge to push its advantage back up to double-digits (66-52) with 5:20 left. The Golden Eagles clawed back to pull within nine (66-57) prior to Alexis Lopez draining a triple to give Old Westbury a double-digit lead for the final 3:38.

Jelinek finished with a career-high 21 points (10-of-14 FG) to go with 11 rebounds and two blocks to post her fifth-career-double-double. Lopez followed with a career-best 21 points (5-of-13 3FG) and added two steals. Warren chipped in 19 points (8-of-12 FG) and 10 rebounds to register her 15th-career double-double (11th of season) while Bellings directed the offense with a personal-best 13 assists. Monique Joseph nabbed a team-best three steals to lead Old Westbury's defensive front.

Signor recorded game highs of 28 points (11-of-18 FG) and four steals to pace St. Joseph's. Juliana Cintron-Leonardo contributed 16 points and nine rebounds while Alicia Indence scored 11 points.

Old Westbury finished the evening shooting 50.7 percent (35-of-69) from the field, 29.4 percent (5-of-17) from three-point territory and 66.7 percent (6-of-9) from the free-throw line. St. Joseph's connected on 39.3 percent (24-of-61) from the floor, 33.3 percent (5-of-15) from beyond the arc and 59.1 percent (13-of-22) from the charity stripe. Old Westbury won the boards battle, 43-28, scoring 16 second-chance points off 17 offensive rebounds. The Panthers outplayed St. Joseph's in assists (28-11), blocks (5-1), fastbreak points (4-0) and points in the paint (52-22) while scoring 31 points off 19 Golden Eagle miscues. St. Joseph's held the edge in steals (8-7) and bench points (7-6).
