Women's Hoops Concludes Season with Win Over Yeshiva

 New York, NY (Feb. 18, 2018) – The Purchase women's basketball team closed out the 2017-18 season with a win over Yeshiva University, 67-51, at Nat Holman Gymnasium on Saturday evening.

Junior guard Amber Jones (Bronx, NY) paved the way for the Panthers with a game-high 22 points. Kayla Ortiz (SR/Brooklyn, NY) added another 17 points and three steals, while Alfa DeJesus (SO/Bronx, NY) chipped in with nine points and 11 boards. Nyasia Harris (JR/South Fallsburg. NY) led the defensive effort with 13 rebounds.

The Maccabees (4-21, 2-16 Skyline) kept up with the Panthers (11-14, 7-11 Skyline) early in the game, as a layup by junior guard Nicole Bick tied it up, 15-15, with 1:25 left to play in the opening quarter. A 3-pointer from Purchase's Amber Yarter (JR/Albany, NY) put the Panthers ahead 18-15 heading into the second stanza.

After trailing by three entering the second period, Bick and Michal Alge combined for back-to-back layups to give YU a one-point lead, at 19-18, just 30 seconds in. Later in the stanza, junior forward Celia Cohen converted a layup of her own to help Yeshiva regain the lead, at 23-22.

From that point on, Purchase took complete control of the game by scoring 11 unanswered points, including 3-pointers from Dejeana Peoples (FR/New York, NY) and Jones, to take a 32-23 advantage with 4:29 left to play in the half. Both teams went into the locker rooms with the score 39-27 in favor of the Panthers.

The Maccabees could not sustain a consistent run in the second half to get back into the game, as Purchase closed out the season with the win.

For the home team, Bick tied a team-high with 16 points and brought down three boards. Freshman guard Chana Boltax added seven points with two rebounds, while junior guard Laura Betesh added four points with three boards. Cohen produced six points with just as many rebounds. Freshman forward Lindsay Brandwein and junior guard Penny Rabin each produced four rebounds, with the former distributing a pair of assists. Freshman forward Kaley Baker brought down a rebound of her own.
