CAMDEN, N.J. – The William Paterson women's basketball team (8-10, 6-5 NJAC) was unable to overcome Rutgers-Camden (10-8, 3-8 NJAC), falling on the road 65-56 Jan. 25.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:

• With WP holding a 19-15 lead after the first quarter, Rutgers-Camden benefited from eight Pioneer turnovers in the second period to level the score at intermission, 33-33.
• The third quarter was a back-and-forth affair as both sides traded baskets until the Scarlet Raptors knocked down a pair of free throws to push its advantage to four points (48-44), which it remained till the start of the fourth quarter.
• The Pioneers got to within two, 58-56, following a pair of free throws from freshman guard Madison Dulude (Sewell, N.J./Washington Twp.). However, the Scarlet Raptors would ice the game by connecting on 7-of-8 attempts from the charity stripe in the final minute to come away with the win.

 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

• Senior guard Alisa Giordano (Wood-Ridge, N.J./Wood-Ridge) finished with a team-high 15 points, while Dulude and junior guard Brianna Brooks (Saddle Brook, N.J./Saddle Brook) each added 13.
• Despite out shooting RUC all afternoon, WP committed 29 turnovers which led to 26 points.

 
UP NEXT:

• WP hosts New Jersey City Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 6:00 p.m.
