Old Westbury, N.Y. (December 8, 2012) – The Knights
women's basketball team took their first conference loss of
the 2012-2013 season on the road against East Coast Conference
opponent New York Institute of Technology by the score 70-58.
The Knights struggled in the first half, getting down by as much
as 16, finishing up the half down 11, 37-26. The Knights leader at

In the second half, the Knights clawed back into it when a
layup by Tara Fearon, tied the game at 48-48. However, the Knights
could not contain the Bears (8-0, 2-0 ECC play) offense as NYIT
went on a 6-0 run which put them at 54-48 and they would not look
back. Leading the scoring in the 2nd half for the
Knights was freshman Kristen Korzevinski, who had 10 points in the
