Brooklyn, NY---The Brooklyn College Women's Basketball Team (8-5, 4-0 CUNYAC) upped their conference record to 4-0 as they cruised by Medgar Evers (5-7, 1-3 CUNYAC), 85-46 on Saturday afternoon.  

Four Bulldogs scored in double-figures in the victory, while junior guard Amber Gordon (Bishop Loughlin / Brooklyn, NY) led the way with 16 points in only 18 minutes of play. 

Brooklyn jumped out to a 12-2 lead over the first 3:31, as Gordon poured in 6 points in the opening minutes.  Medgar Evers answered right back, outscoring BC 11-7 over the next 6 minutes, cutting the Bulldog lead to 19-13.

A Frances Lyons (James Madison / Brooklyn, NY) lay-up, responded to the Medgar run, and ignited a 21-3 Brooklyn run that seemingly deflated the Cougar cause and helped up the halftime lead to 46-18.

The second half saw more of the same as an Elisha Raiford (William C. Bryant / Long Island City) lay-up with 5:20 remaining gave BC their biggest lead of the game, an 83-42 advantage.

"We were relentless on the defensive side of the ball today," said Head Coach Alex Lang.  "We knew it was a big game in the conference standings and we weren't going to be denied."

Lyons finished with 15 points and 8 rebounds, while Raiford finished with 5 points and 4 steals off the BC bench.  Ariel Smith (Wallkill / Newburgh, NY) also netted 15 points, while Priscilla Ramirez (FDR / Brooklyn, NY) scored 10 and nabbed 4 steals.
