The Dolphins extended their undefeated all-time record over St. Josephs College-Brooklyn to 13 as they fought for a 58-50 victory on Monday evening at the CSI Sports and Recreation Center. CSI extended their record to 5-10 while the Bears dropped to a 7-12 record. 
CSI started the first stanza with a strong 10-0 run including two three-point goals by Allie Shanahan. It wasn’t until the 15:00 mark that the Bears made a notch on the scoreboard behind Ashley McQuillan’s left side jumper. Returning baskets back-and-forth, it was at 9:50 that St. Joseph’s closed the gap to two behind a layup by Megan Moran and a 3 point goal by McQuillan. CSI pulled away again with a 6-0 run for a 20-12 lead with 6:50 to go. The teams traded short runs with the Bears ending the second half on a 4-0 run with .36 and putting the score at 25-21.
Katelyn Hepworth and Shanahan combined for 23 rebounds and 13 points to end the half. The Dolphins shot poorly from the free throw line shooting 2-for-10. 
The Bears opened the second half with two made free throws by to close the Dolphins lead to two. The teams went bucket-for-bucket throughout the half cutting the gap as close as one point on two occasions; 12:50 with a Doran layup and 30 seconds later at 12:20 in a McQuillan jumper. From there CSI reached to their greatest lead of 9 at the 7 minute mark. A Nicole Quattrochi three pointer at 2:15  put CSI ahead by 6, the Bears began to foul to gain possession. Two fouls by Doran brought CSI to the line in a 10 second period of time. CSI made just one free throw to put the score at 54-47. A made three pointer by SJ and a timeout saw the score at 54-50 with 31 seconds remaining. Doran fouled out bringing Hepworth to line where she sunk both free throws, 58-50. A Quattrocchi foul at 4 seconds gave St. Joe’s their last chance for a score. 
CSI bettered their second half free throws shooting 50%. St. Joe’s finished the game shooting 70% from the foul line. Both teams had 20 turnovers apiece. 
The Dolphins were led by Shanahan with 18 points and 17 rebounds while Hepworth added a worthy performance of 13 points and 17 rebounds. Jaclyn Tocco added 7 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Quattrocchi added nine points. 
The Bears were led by McQuillan’s 15 points. Doran and Teresa Mangan added 10 points apiece.
