Brooklyn, NY---The Brooklyn College Women's Basketball Team (3-5) earned their best win of the young season as they knocked of the College of St. Elizabeth (6-2), 60-47 Saturday afternoon at the Roosevelt Gymnasium.

St. Elizabeth, who came into the game winners of six of their first seven, led for much of the first half.  A late 12-5 rally by the Bridges put the home team up two at the break 27-25.  The teams traded baskets early in the second half until Jaclyn Cavalcante (James Madison / Brooklyn, NY) converted a lay-up to give BC a 30-29 advantage and key a 10-0 spurt by the Brooklyn offense which sealed the win.
