JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | Senior forwardDeseree Johnson (Red Bank, NJ/Monmouth Regional) knocked down a three-pointer from the right corner with 47.5 seconds remaining in the first quarter—her 50th of the season and 107th of her career—to become the New Jersey City University women's basketball new all-time leader and later broke the single-season record as well but her Gothic Knights fell to Stockton University, 85-45, in a New Jersey Athletic Conference game on February 10 at the John J. Moore Athletics and Fitness Center (Coach Charlie Brown Court).
 
Stockton (18-4, 12-3 NJAC), the No. 1 ranked team in the first NCAA Division III Atlantic Region poll remained in second place in the NJAC with two games remaining. NJCU drops to 1-21 (0-16 NJAC).
