JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | New Jersey City University shot 17.2 percent in the first half to fall behind 29-15 at halftime and never led as Manhattanville College won a 64-49 non-conference women's basketball contest on Saturday afternoon, December 15, at the John J. Moore Athletics and Fitness Center on 'Coach Charlie Brown Court.'

Manhattanville, which received 49 of its 64 points from just three players—matching NJCU's output in the game—doubled the Gothic Knights production in the paint, dominating to the tune of a 40-20 scoring advantage. M-Ville (5-3) shot 51.9 percent in the second half when it edged the Knights (3-8), 35-34.
 
NJCU made just 5-of-29 from the field in the first half and finished making 28.1 percent overall (18-of-64) and 4-of-16 from three-point distance. The Valiants converted 41.7 percent (25-of-60) from the field, to overcome 2-for-15 three-point shooting (.133).
 
In defeat, NJCU was led by sophomore guard JADE MEDLEY (Queens, NY/Hudson Catholic), who reached double figures for the third straight game, scoring a career-high 14 points, including two three-pointers. She shot 6-of-8 from the free throw line in 24 reserve minutes. Regarded as perhaps the top player on the Gothic Knight women's volleyball team, the two-sport athlete led the women's basketball team in scoring for the first time in her career.
