GOLDEN KNIGHTS CLOSE REGULAR SEASON WITH COMEBACK VICTORY AT AIC

WILL FACE STONEHILL IN FIRST ROUND OF NE10 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP ON FRIDAY

SPRINGFIELD, MASS.- The College of Saint Rose finished the fourth quarter on a 15-2 rally to comeback and defeat American International 61-53 tonight. 

The Golden Knights faced a five-point deficit after American International went ahead 51-46 in the early moments of the fourth quarter. However, Saint Rose held the Yellow Jackets to 1-of-10 shooting from the floor over the final 7:34 to close out the Northeast-10 Conference regular season by winning three of its last four games.

Tonight's back-and-forth match-up featured 12 lead changes, with the final change coming on a jumper by junior forward Shamim Wambere that gave the Golden Knights the advantage for good with 4:30 remaining. 

For the second consecutive night, the Golden Knight defense stepped up in the final quarter to pull away from the division rival Yellow Jackets. When these two squads met last night in Nolan Gymnasium, Saint Rose closed the game in similar fashion to earn the 56-42 victory over AIC.

The Golden Knights will carry momentum into the NE10 Championsip. Saint Rose is slated to face Stonehill in the first round of postseason play Friday.
