PURCHASE, N.Y. | The Farmingdale State women's basketball team traveled to Manhattanville University on Saturday afternoon and earned a 64-57 Skyline Conference victory. Trailing 55-54 with 1:23 left on the clock, senior guard Isabella Greenwald (West Islip, N.Y.) drained a key 3-pointer to put the Rams ahead. This marked FSC's first win over the Valiants since 2021 and their first road win in the series since 2007.

Farmingdale State improved to 7-4 overall and 5-2 in conference play with the victory. Manhattanville dropped to 6-2 and 4-2 in the Skyline.

The Rams fell behind 9-2 in the opening minutes but responded with seven consecutive points by senior guard Gemma Pohalski (Huntington, N.Y.) to tie the score at 9-9.

The Valiants led 16-14 at the end of the first quarter and extended their advantage to 27-21 at the halftime break.

After Manhattanville pushed their lead to seven, 31-24, early in the third, FSC used layups by Alexandria Walbroehl (Mastic Beach, N.Y.), Pohalski and Erin Conte (Melville, N.Y.) to quickly make it a one-point game at 31-30.

Farmingdale State was still down one, 41-40, to start the fourth quarter and opened with a layup by sophomore forward Taneece Wooden (Freeport, N.Y.) to jump in front, 42-41.

The fourth quarter saw five lead changes and four ties as the game was knotted at 53-53 with 2:25 remaining. 

After Wooden hit a free-throw, Manhattanville's Kathleen O'Mara answered with a layup to regain the lead.

On the next possession, FSC sophomore Mia Simmons (Queens, N.Y.) found Greenwald open in the corner for the clutch 3-pointer, putting Farmingdale State in front, 57-55, with 1:23 left.

The Valiants missed a 3-pointer on their next possession, and Greenwald quickly set up Simmons for a driving layup to extend the lead to 59-55 with less than a minute to go.

FSC sealed the win with five free-throws down the stretch as they went on for the 64-57 Skyline Conference victory.

Pohalski led all scorers with 19 points, while Wooden finished with 18 points and eight rebounds.
