FLUSHING, N.Y. – In a high-scoring affair the Queens College women's basketball team had four score in double-figures, but the Knights would fall 87-84 to Felician University Golden Falcons on Tuesday night (Nov. 23) in non-conference action. 

How it Happened

The Knights went on a 13-0 run from 7:12 to 3:27 as they took a 15-3 lead before the Golden Falcons rallied back to cut the home side lead to three (23-19) as the first quarter came to close. 
 
The second quarter would see the score tied three times before the visitors took a six-point lead behind a Catherine Lecop three-pointer. Queens would go into halftime trailing by three as senior Nora Gabel (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.) and junior Khadija Demry (Brooklyn, N.Y.) ended the second quarter on a 5-2 run. 
 
The Knights would open the third quarter on a 7-0 run as Gabel and freshman Jennah DeGout (Bronx, N.Y.) gave the Knights a 47-43 lead. Both sides would exchange the lead six times but would head into the final quarter tied 65-65 following junior Tsahai Corbie (Brooklyn, N.Y.) second-chance bucket to end the stanza. 
 
Gabel would give Queens a three-point lead (68-65) just 10 seconds into the fourth quarter. But the visitors would not go way easy and tie the game 70-70 on a three-pointer by Lecop. A 6-0 run by the Knights would push the home side to a 76-70 lead with 5:48 left to play. 
 
Lecop would keep the visitors within striking distance with another three and cut the Knights lead down to three (82-79) with 2:31 left. 
 
But for the third straight game, turnovers would hurt the Knights in the final minutes of play as the Golden Falcons closed out the game on a 7-2 run and steal an 87-84 victory. 
 
By the Numbers
 
The Knights had four players score in double figures led by freshman Chelsea Reeves (Brooklyn, N.Y.) near double-double with a career-high 17 points (7-9 FG), nine rebounds, and sophomore Aalia Carlson (Montclair, N.J.) 16 points (8-12 FG) off the bench. While starters Gabel and Corbie tallied 15 and 10 points respectively. 
 
Making her first start of the season DeGout tallied six-point and career-high 18 rebounds. The 18 rebounds are the most in a single game since Madison Rowland tallied 20 boards against New York Tech on December 3, 2016. 
 
Queens shot 41.0 percent (34-of-83) from the field and a season-high 50.0 percent (4-of-8) from three. While Fellican shot 45.6 percent (31-of-68) from the field and 35.7 percent (5-of-14) from beyond the arc. 
 
The Knights dominated the boards with a season-high 56 rebounds including 26 on the offensive end. 
 
UP NEXT: The Knights continue the homestand as Franklin Pierce University visit Flushing for a Saturday (Nov. 27) non-conference matchup. Tip-off set for 1:00 p.m.
