Flushing, N.Y. (March 2, 2013) – On a night when senior Bria Jackson entered the women's basketball program's record books, the Knights women's basketball team ended their 2012-2013 regular season with a 65-58 victory over the St. Thomas Aquinas College Spartans to put them at 8-10 in East Coast Conference play.

Ending her only regular season as a Knight with 27 points against STAC, senior Bria Jackson ended with 495 single-season total points, surpassing Knight Alumnus Amanda Bartlett's for 8^th place on the Knights all-time list. Freshman Kristen Korzevinski added 24 points in the contest.  

In the first half, Jackson earned her spot on the list after a 10-point first half performance, surpassing Karen Barbier (476^th) for 10^th on the all-time list. The Knights were up by 10 midway through the first half when STAC started to creep back into it.  With the game tied at 23 and four minutes left, the Spartans went on a 7-2 run to take a 31-25 lead into the half.

St. Thomas Aquinas got up by as much as 37-29 in the first five minutes of the 2^nd half. However, Queens College went on an 8-0 run to put the Knights up 38-37 thanks to baskets by Jackson, Korzevinski, freshman Joya McFarland and fellow senior Lisanne Comeau.  Fighting for a lead the next few minutes, the lead changed back into STAC's (9-9, ECC) favor. With 9:11 remaining in the game, Korzevinski sank the game-changing jumper to put QC up 45-44 and the Knights would not look back from there. Jackson's 17 second-half points helped her pass Kristen Hoffman's 9^th place mark of 482. When she sank free throws towards the end of the game, it pushed her into 8^th place on the list.

Both Jackson and Comeau were honored prior to tonight's basketball game for Senior Day and their commitment and hard work on Head Coach Bet Naumovski's squad. Naumovski was joined by Athletic Director China Jude and the Queens College Athletics staff as the women's basketball team presented senior Alexander Garrett with a team-signed #2 jersey and the words, “most valuable person” as recognition of his dedication to the department all four years he has been at Queens College.

As the sixth seed of the ECC tournament, the Knights will travel to the 1st seeded University of Bridgeport to take on the Purple Knights in the East Coast Conference Quarterfinals on Wednesday March 6^th at 7 PM.
