How They Got Here

The BC Women's Basketball team earned the #2 seed by virtue of its 14-2 record in CUNYAC play. The Bulldogs defeated #7 York College, 69-54, in their quarterfinals round matchup to punch its ticket to the semifinals round for a fifth straight season.

Seniors Megan Campbell (21 points and 12 rebounds) and Vanessa D'Ambrosi (17 points and 13 rebounds) led the way for BC.

Staten Island earned the #3 seed following a 12-4 record in conference play. The Dolphins defeated #6 John Jay College, 65-55, in their quarterfinals round meeting to advance to Tuesday's semifinals round.

Christina Pasaturo, the 2015 CUNAYC Rookie of the Year, was one of four Dolphins in double figures with a team-high 15 points. Victoria Crea (14 points), Alyssa Carlsen (11 points) and Megan Myhre (10 points) all finished the game in double-digit scoring.

How They Got Here
 
The BC Men's Basketball team earned the #2 seed after posting a 12-4 record in the CUNYAC. The Bulldogs defeated #7 John Jay, 83-68, in their quarterfinals round game to make their fifth semifinals appearance over the last seven seasons.

Jai Kellman led all scorers with 23 points, while Lorenzo Williams (19 points) and Valon Djombalic (16 points and 10 rebounds) also made strong contributions. Egzon Gjonbalaj had a near triple-double, finishing the day with 10 assists, nine points and seven rebounds.

Lehman earned the #3 seed after going 12-4 in league play. Since Lehman and Brooklyn split their regular season meeting, BC earned the tie-breaker due to splitting the season series against top seed Baruch, while Baruch swept Lehman in the regular season.

The Lightning avoided a near upset in their quarterfinals round match against #6 Hunter, as Lehman edged out a 79-77 win to survive and advance into the semifinals round at CCNY.

Lehman had five players score in double-figures, including four starters, as the tri of Chaun Miller, John Brens and Jonathan Greenfield all finished with 14 points apiece.  Olando Minott added 11 points, while Jerrome Jones chipped in with 10 points off the bench. Brens hit a pair of free throws with seven seconds left to break the 77-77 tie and lift the Lightning over the Hawks and into the semifinals.

Brooklyn and Lehman split their regular season meetings with each team winning on their home floor. The third installment will occur on a neutral court with the winner advancing to the championship final. BC is in search of its third championship final appearance since 2009, while Lehman will look to return to the final for the first time since 2004.
