PURCHASE, N.Y. - The Purchase College women's basketball team was defeated at home Wednesday night, as the squad fell to Farmingdale State College in the season finale.

The final score was 72-64.

With the result, the Panthers finished the year 11-14 overall and 10-10 in the Skyline Conference. For the Rams, they jumped to 13-11 and 11-8, respectively.

While the guests led from start to finish, the Blue and Orange made valiant comebacks on numerous occasions to keep it a tight contest right to very end.

The tight fourth quarter is testament to the squad as a whole, as they very easily could have bottomed out after a dreadful first frame.

In the period, the Panthers started the first 8:36 scoreless, before ultimately trailing by the score of 18-3 after the 10 minutes.

Despite that major deficit, the squad was tenacious in its fight back as it cut the margin to just six points in the second.

Following halftime, Purchase continued to battle as it got within five points in the third quarter and four points in the fourth.

In the end though, the Rams had just enough firepower to hold on for the crucial victory.

Overall, the hosts shot 35 percent from the field and 41.2 percent on 3-pointers, while Farmingdale totaled 33.8 percent and 50 percent, respectively.

Individually, Tianna Patten (FY/Mount Vernon, NY) finished with a game-high 23 points, four rebounds and two steals. 

Halle Greaige (JR/Rye Brook, NY) added nine points and three steals, while Charlee Neb (SR/Longmont, CO) totaled six points, five assists and three steals.

While not technically eliminated from Skyline Conference playoff contention, the squad will now need help to get in. 

Regardless, Purchase still collected the program's most wins in a season since 2018-19, when it won 15 games overall.
