Having a player earn a double-double in game is a major feat.  Having a game where three players pick up double-doubles is like climbing Mount Everest, it just doesn't happen very often.  For the Knights, three players had double-doubles in the win, led by MacKenzie Rowland's (Shaker, N.Y./Cohoes) 19 point, 14 rebound effort.

The Knights jumped out to an 8-1 lead over the first three-and-half minutes of action as Rowland, Kristen Korzevinski (New Hyde Park, N.Y./New Hyde Park), Catherine Pastor (Hewlett, N.Y./Hewlett)and Bria Jackson (Rochester, N.Y./Rush-Henrietta) all scored buckets in that stretch.  Queens used the rest of the half to build up a lead that got as large as 20 points, when Korzevinski scored with 1:21 to go.  The Knights led 39-22 at the half.

The second half saw more scoring from the Knights as they scored 43 points in the second half, while limiting the Mavericks to just 21.  Their lead got as large as 39 points when Joya McFarland (Bronx, N.Y./JFK) sunk a pair of free throws with less than a second left, and the Knights won 82-43.

With the win, Queens improved to 3-2 overall and 1-0 in the East Coast Conference.  Jackson recorded the second double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds while Marie Byrnes (Brooklyn, N.Y./Rutgers Prep) came off the bench to pick up 11 points and 12 rebounds.  Korzevinski also contributed 16 points, helping the Knights shoot 33-64 (51.6%) in the game.  They out rebounded the Mavericks, 57-24 and grabbed a dozen steals.

The Knights return to action on Saturday, December 8, when they face NYIT on the road in an ECC contest.  The tip-off is scheduled for 2:00 PM.
