Mahwah, NJ --- The Brooklyn College Women's Basketball team dropped a non-conference game earlier today at the Bradley Center in Mahwah, NJ to the host Roadrunners of Ramapo College, 70-49. With the loss, the Bulldogs fall to 8-6 overall on the year, while the Roadrunners improve to 10-6 on the season.
After a jumper from senior Elisha Raiford made the score 7-6 in favor of Ramapo at the 16:00 mark of the first half, the Roadrunners went on a 26-7 scoring spree over the next nine minutes to take a 20-point advantage, 33-13. The Bulldogs would claw back into the game with a 21-5 run to close out the half and head into the locker room with a 38-34 deficit. Seniors Amber Gordon and Ariel Smith helped lead the run with nine and seven points, respectively.
Up by three, 46-43, with 12:41 remaining in the game, Ramapo closed out the game with a 24-6 run to take home the 70-49 victory.

Ramapo held the rebounding edge 42-32 and shot 50.9% (28-for-55) from the floor for the game.
