Albany, NY - The Panthers played their first conference game of the season. Coming off a big win against Landmark the week prior, the Panthers were ready for some conference play. The Lynx and Panthers went back and forth all game which made for a great conference game.
The game started off on a very good note as both the Lynx and Panthers went back and forth. The first quarter ended in a 12-12 tie with Freshmen

Adriana Yuret (Mayfield, NY) was also playing well on the boards as she herself grabbed 6 rebounds. Junior

The Panthers came out of halftime looking strong, and shot better then the Lynx. Although the Panthers shot better, the Lynx got half their points in the quarter from the line. Ramsey continued to score the ball for the Panthers dropping another 5 in the quarter. Ninche continued her rebounding ways, grabbing 8 in the third quarter, bringing her total for the game so far to 16. Freshmen

The Panthers worked hard to try and complete the comback, with Yuret jumping on every ball she could forcing 5 jump balls to switch possession back and forth in the fourth. In the end though, every time the Panthers made their way back, the Lynx would hit a shot, or free throws to make it harder. The Panthers lost in a close game losing 57-54 to the Lynx.
The Panthers will take some time off and get ready to bounce back as they take on Word of Life at home on December 6th.
