FARMINGDALE, N.Y. | The FSC women's basketball hosted Albertus Magnus for a non-conference game on Saturday and fell, 75-69. The Rams knotted the game at 67-67 with less than three minutes to play before the Falcons closed the game on a 7-2 run en route to the victory.

Leading 3-2 early in the first quarter, the Rams (2-2) used back-to-back 3-pointers by sophomore forward Taneece Wooden (Freeport, N.Y.) and senior guard Gemma Pohalski (Huntington, N.Y.) to jump in front by seven.

FSC took a 14-8 advantage into the second and went on a 14-4 run over the first five minutes as they went ahead 28-12.

Trailing 30-14 with 2:56 on the clock, the Falcons (1-1) closed the half on an 8-2 spurt as they trailed the Rams, 32-22, at the break. Pohalski led all scorers with 11 first-half points, to go with seven rebounds.

After Albertus registered the opening bucket of the third quarter, 3-pointers by freshman guard Emily Tsiforas (Manhassett Hills, N.Y.) and sophomore guard Mia Simmons (Queens, N.Y.) gave FSC a 38-24 advantage.

The Falcons were down 45-36 and used a pull-up jumper and three free-throws to close the gap to just four, 45-41. Albertus Magnus later tied the score at 49-49 after hitting a 3-pointer in the final minute of the third.

The fourth quarter saw four ties and five lead changes as the teams traded baskets throughout.

With 3:14 remaining, Farmingdale State trailed 67-63 and knotted the game on a driving layup by senior guard Isabella Greenwald (West Islip, N.Y.) and a jumper from freshman guard Brianna Amenta (Oceanside, N.Y.).

On the next possession, a foul sent Falcons' guard Diamond White to the line and she knocked down both to regain the lead. After an FSC turnover, a fast break layup gave Albertus a four-point edge at 71-67.

FSC closed the gap with a pair of Greenwald free-throws with 1:51 showing on the clock. The Rams had an opportunity to tie the game with 18 seconds left, but a block by Albertus Magnus followed by two free-throws allowed them to make it a two possession game, 73-69. The Falcons knocked down two more foul shots in the final seconds as they earned the 75-69 victory.
