Déjà Vu
Saturday's championship final will be a rematch of last year's final, which saw the Bearcats erase a 10-point halftime deficit en route to their 65-49 victory, to claim Baruch's fifth straight conference championship and sixth over the past seven seasons.

The Bulldogs will look to turn the tables this year and capture its first conference crown since 1980. (Brooklyn was an NCAA Division I Institution from 1982-1992. Athletics was disbanded following the 1992 season and was reinstated during the 1995-1996 season as a Division III member).

The winner of tomorrow's championship game will receive the CUNYAC's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Tournament.
