Brooklyn, NY---After controlling most of the first half and taking a one point lead into the break, the Brooklyn College Women (2-3) were not able to win their third straight, as they dropped a 71-62 decision to Rutgers-Camden (3-3).

Coming out of the break, Rutgers-Camden scored 10 straight points, giving the Scarlet Raptors a nine-point cushion less than three minutes into the second half.   The Bridges then rallied as three-pointers by sophomore Christina McDonnell (Staten Island Tech / Staten Island, NY)and senior Jaclyn Cavalcante (James Madison / Brooklyn, NY) sandwiched a pair of Amber Gordon (Bishop Loughlin / Brooklyn, NY) free throws, pulling BC to within one point, 41-40.
