(Stone Ridge, NY) - Over the course of any sports season, it is almost a given that a short campaign comes complete with long memories. Such was the story on Tuesday night at Ulster Community College as the Westchester Community College Women's Basketball team turned a rivalry with SUNY Ulster that provided nothing but nightmares only 63 days ago into an evening the Vikings will never forget.

63 days after falling 56-29 to the Senators at home, Westchester opened Tuesday's game on an 8-2 run, and never looked back. Westchester led 42-22 at halftime, and broke 75 points for the third time this season.
Every Viking scored at least five points as Tom had 15 points and four steals, while Jewelle McEwan (Bronx, NY/Harry S. Truman HS) with a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double. Also for the Vikings,
Shanaya Jones (Bronx, NY/Health Opportunities HS) had one of the finest games of her career with 12 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, and eight steals.
