POUGHKEEPSIE, NY (January 29, 2013) – It was a matter of offensive firepower. The Vassar College women's basketball team simply had more than Bard, and the Brewers deep and talented team used its complete arsenal to defeat a tenacious Raptors team, 71-48, in Liberty League play on Tuesday night at the Athletics & Fitness Center.
The vastly improved Bard team kept clawing throughout, but the Raptors couldn't contain Vassar's array of offensive weapons, one that produced a season-best four players in double figures. Led by 15 point each from junior guard Cydni Matsuoka and sophomore forward Colleen O'Connell, Vassar controlled the game from start to finish, building a 37-23 lead at halftime and outscored Bard by 11 points in the second half.

Vassar countered by going on a 20-12 run to close out the half, getting scoring from five different players, including five from rapidly improving sophomore guard Delaney Fischer.
Led by a Vassar bench that outscored Bard 21-2, the Brewers held a 12 to 16 point lead for the majority of the second half. It wasn't until the final eight minutes of the game that Vassar pulled away. In the final 5:35,the Brewers went on a game-ending 11-0 run for the 71-46 victory.
