The Medgar Evers College women's basketball team played a road CUNYAC game against CCNY in New York, NY, on Friday, February 2.
The Cougars (1-21, 1-12 CUNYAC) fell to the Beavers (13-8, 8-4) by a final score of 68-47.
The first half was very rough for MEC, particularly the second quarter during which CCNY outscored Medgar 23-to-five. Despite trailing 45-14 at halftime, the Cougars responded with an explosive third quarter, outscoring the Beavers 26-to-eight behind 15
Jessycca Myers points.
Unfortunately, CCNY was able to withstand the Cougar rally in the fourth quarter and closed out the victory.
Myers finished with 30 points, the most by any Medgar women's player this season. She was 11-of-13 from the field and also added a team-high eight rebounds as well as three steals.
