New York, NY:  The Ramapo College women's basketball team dropped a tough non-conference road match-up today to Baruch, 56-60.  With the loss the Roadrunners fall to 8-4 overall on the year while the Bearcats improve to 6-2.

Baruch spent the entire first period on top except for a brief tie at 6:11 (5-5) when Cherie Smedile drained a three. It wasn't enough as the Bearcats worked to a seven-point advantage with 1:19 to play and a basket from Sameera Ahmed.  Ramapo trailed 12-17 after the first before working to the game's second tie with 4:51 to play in the half with a layup from Wildin (21-21).  The Roadrunners took the lead with 3:30 to play with a basket from Wickersheim (24-23).  The teams traded baskets to end the half with Baruch finishing on top at the buzzer, 30-27.

At 2:41, Stacey Porzl scored two to come within one, (38-39) but Baruch responded closing out the period to lead by five, 47-42.   In the fourth, the Roadrunners pushed to come within one, 54-55 at 1:40 with a goal from Whildin, but it wasn't enough as the Bearcats held on and pushed for the 60-56 win over the Roadrunners.
