New York, NY:  Senior guard Shay Branch El-Vielot (Cambria Heights, NY/Canarsie) had her best performance of the season, scoring 15 points and pulled down seven rebounds, leading a late rally that erased a 13 point deficit, but it would be the Roadrunners of Ramapo College who walk away with a 64-62 win in a non-conference women's basketball game Monday afternoon at the Hunter Sportsplex.

In a low scoring first half, each team held small leads before the game was tied at 27 with 2:27 remaining on the clock. Ramapo then took a 29-27 lead with 1:59 left and that is how it would stand at halftime.

Ramapo added to their lead with an 11-0 run in the second half to go up 50-37 with 9:07 left in regulation. However, the Hawks were able to ride a 23-10 run to tie the game at 60 with just 41 seconds on the clock. A little under 20 seconds later, Ramapo guard Stephanie Cannizzaro (Pequannock, NJ) completed a three-point play after hitting a jumper and a free-throw to give her team a 63-60 lead. Freshman guard Johanna Keilwitz (Wolmirstedt, Germany/Sportgymnasium Halle) answered back with a basket with nine seconds left to bring the Hawks to within one point, 63-62. A trip to the line would put the Roadrunners up 64-62, with Hunter having the final play of the game, but with five seconds left, they weren't able to get a good shot off before the final buzzer sounded.

Senior center Juanita Whyms (Far Rockaway, NY/Stella Maris) recorder her sixth double-double of the season with 12 points and a game high 15 rebounds, while junior guard Megan McKenna (Rockaway, NY/Midwood) added ten points along with four assists.

For the Roadrunners, freshman forward Meghan Reilly (Morganville, NJ) scored a game high 20 points and added 11 rebounds, followed by freshman guard Faith Flannery (Red Bank, NJ) with 14 points and six assists, and Cannizzaro added 13 points and six rebounds.

Hunter (8-6) will be back in action on Wednesday, when they host York College for a 5:00 p.m. CUNY Athletic Conference game. Ramapo (7-9) head back home where they will host New Jersey City University on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.
