Brooklyn, NY---The Brooklyn College Women's Basketball team could not make it two straight at home, as they fell to visiting #11 NYU, 58-42 at West Quad on Tuesday evening. The Violets remain undefeated with the win, improving to 6-0 on the season, while the Bulldogs drop to 2-3. 

Brooklyn could not get anything going early, and after falling behind right from the start, entered the locker room down 20, 34-14. NYU was led by their leading scorer Megan Dawe, who went into the break a perfect 3-3 from the field and 4-4 from the line. 

Trailing by 20 to start the second half, the Bulldogs showed some fight and took over the game for a stretch, going on an 11-0 run to cut the deficit to nine, at 34-25, but Brooklyn seemingly ran out of gas and the Violets regrouped to push the lead back to double-figures and go on to win their sixth straight to open the season.

"I thought we played well for periods of this game, but we did not execute early and fell behind by too much to start," said Head Coach Alex Lang.  "NYU is a very good team and to give them a huge halftime lead makes it a tough task to try and come back from 20 down.  We outscored them in the second half, however it was far from what we needed after falling in such a big hole."

Senior guard Nicole Francomano was outstanding for BC in defeat, totaling 15 points, six boards and a pair of steals.

Classmate Megan Campbell had game-highs of 10 boards and two blocks to go along with five points in her first game back from injury.

NYU was led by Dawe's 16 points, while Emily Rowe came off the bench to contribute the game's lone double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.  

Brooklyn will be idle until Saturday when they take on conference opponent John Jay, at the midtown campus at 2 pm.
