Women's Basketball falls to UCAP on Sophomore Day

(Valhalla, NY) - Five Vikings scored in double figures, and sophomore Jewelle McEwen (Bronx, NY/Harry S. Truman HS), sophomore Shanaya Jones (Bronx, NY/Health Opportunities HS), and sophomore Paige Collins (Jamaica, NY/Wadleigh HS) each had double-doubles, but the Westchester Community College Women's Basketball team lost its 2018-19 season finale, 93-75 on Saturday at Viking Gymnasium. With the loss, the Vikings close the season with a 4-7 record.

It was an up-tempo affair with both teams playing run-and-gun basketball throughout as the two teams combined for 202 shots over 40 minutes of play. UCAP (13-13) stormed out to an early 14-point lead, but a late Viking run made it 25-20 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter proved to be even closer, but a late Pointer charge put the visitors up 40-31 at the break.

The third quarter proved to be decisive as a 15-0 UCAP run gave them a brief 25-point lead, but a 10-0 WCC run made things closer. Nonetheless, UConn held a 70-52 lead heading into the fourth quarter, and never looked back.

McEwen ended a fine sophomore campaign with 17 points, 15 rebounds, and three steals. Jones contributed 15 points, 21 rebounds, and eight assists. Collins had 10 points, 10 rebounds, and three steals.

Also for Westchester, sophomore Shannon Bandoo (Mount Vernon, NY/American Sign Language) chipped in 14 points, while sophomore Ambar Rincon (Yonkers, NY/Yonkers HS) had 11 points and six rebounds.

Shooting woes impacted Westchester throughout the game as the Vikings converted only 31% of their 106 shot attempts, while UCAP shot 39%. In addition, the Vikings grabbed a season-high 72 rebounds.

Westchester now looks forward to an off-season with the intention of returning to varsity status for the 2019-2020 campaign.
