Box Score Brooklyn, NY---The Brooklyn College Women's Basketball Team used a 53-13 run to cruise past the visiting CCNY, 73-40, on Saturday afternoon.  The Bulldogs improve their season record to 11-5, 6-2 CUNYAC, while CCNY falls to 3-13, 3-5.

The game started out very competitively as after a Tiffany Thompson bucket put Brooklyn up 2-0, the Beavers responded with a 12-4 run , capped by a Syreeta Williams jumper, to take a 14-6 lead of their own. 

It was all Bulldogs after that as the home squad erupted for the 53-13 run to take a 32 point lead and total control of the game.

"I thought our energy on defense and our ability to get out in transition wore our opponent down," said Brooklyn Head Coach Alex Lang.  "I give CCNY credit for the way they began the game, but I was proud to see the way our team bounced back and picked up our intensity defensively."

Brittany Bowen, who started the game cold from the field, eventually heated up and led Brooklyn with 14 points.  Nicole Francomano was four assists short of a triple double, as the sophomore guard tallied 12 points, 10 steals and six assists, while going 6-9 from the field.
