(Valhalla, NY) - Sophomore
Paige Collins (Jamaica, NY/Wadleigh HS) scored 12 points and added nine rebounds, and freshman Jewelle McEwan (Bronx, NY/Harry S. Truman HS) added 10 points and seven rebounds, but the Westchester Community College Women's Basketball team saw their two-game winning streak come to a close with a 73-50 loss to Sullivan Community College on Thursday night at Viking Gymnasium. With the loss, the Vikings fall to 4-4 for the 2018-19 season.
It was a disastrous second quarter that proved to be the culprit for the Vikings. After the visiting Generals opened up a 21-14 lead after the first 10 minutes, a 12-0 second quarter run for Sullivan put the Vikings behind by 19 points, and Westchester CC was unable to bridge the gap despite a much better second half. After trailing 41-22 at halftime, Sullivan outscored WCC 32-28 over the final 20 minutes as Westchester stepped up their play significantly after halftime.
Sullivan shot 37% from the floor, compared to 34% by Westchester, and the Vikings were out-rebounded 53-44. Westchester also turned the ball over 34 times, compared to 26 for the visitors.
