The Berkeley College New York women's basketball team had its modest two-game winning streak snapped on Friday evening, as the team fell to the Pomeroys of St. Mary of the Woods College by a score of 92-62 in a game played at the Apprentice School in Newport News, Virginia. The loss sent the Knights to a record of 11-3 on the season, while the Pomeroys improved to a mark of 6-9 on the 2014-2015 campaign.

The game was tightly-contested in the opening stages of the game, with the Knights trailing by just two points - 10-8 - just 5:16 in. St. Mary of the Wood College would then put together a 19-6 run over the ensuing 5:06 to jump ahead by a count of 29-14. The Pomeroys led by 15 at that point, and eventually led by as many as 16 points in the opening stanza, and eventually took a 37-26 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Berkeley College was able to pull to within single digits with just under 17 minutes remaining in the game (42-33), but St. Mary of the Woods College began to gradually pull away from there. A 19-4 run by the Pomeroys put the Knights in a tough spot, trailing by 24 - 61-37 - with just over 12 minutes remaining. St. Mary of the Woods continued to pad their edge, going up by as many as 34 at one point before going on to win the game by 30 points.

Despite the loss for the Knights, it was first-year sensation Champagne Hazel putting forth a phenomenal effort, as she poured in 23 points on 10-of-22 shooting to go along with nine rebounds, six steals, and four assists. Patricia Patterson added 12 points a game-high 18 rebounds, and Janay Thomas finalized her night with 12 points, seven assists, and five rebounds.

Leading the way for the Pomeroys was Grace Ziegler, as she netted 23 points. In addition, Shelby Palmer hit on eight of her 19 shots and scored 18 points, pulled down seven rebounds and tallied seven assists, and Mikayla Kinneer nailed five of her six attempts from the charity stripe and finished with 12 points.

Poor shooting doomed the Knights from the start, as Berkeley College connected on just 35.7 percent of their attempts from the floor (25-70) and only eight of their 25 attempts from the line (32 percent). On the flip side, St. Mary of the Woods College drained 38.6 percent of their shots (32-83) while also converting on 16 of their 19 attempts from the floor (84.2 percent). The Pomeroys dished 24 assists to Berkeley's 14, while the Knights held a 60-49 rebounding edge.

The Knights will look to get back on track tomorrow afternoon, as Berkeley will take on Briarcliffe in the first of two meetings between the two squads this season. Start-time for the Knights' tussle with the Bulldogs is scheduled for 2:00pm.
