FARMINGDALE, N.Y. | The Farmingdale State women's basketball team hosted Skyline opponent Manhattanville University on Saturday afternoon and fell by a score of 74-56. FSC dropped to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play, while the Valiants improved to 3-2, 2-0.

After Manhattanville outscored the Rams 18-8 in the first quarter and led 31-18 midway through the second, Farmingdale State used an Alexandria Walbroehl (Mastic Beach, N.Y.) jumper and a layup from junior forward Samyah Allen (Queen Village, N.Y.) to cut their deficit to nine.

Following a Manhattanville layup, Allen produced five consecutive points to close within six, 33-27, with a minute to play in the half.

The Valiants registered a layup from Esther Ramos before FSC responded with a pair of Nia Phillips (Glen Cove, N.Y.) free-throws and a turn around jumper from Allen at the buzzer to make it a four-point game at halftime, 35-31.

Over the first four minutes of the third quarter, Manhattanville regained a nine-point lead at 42-33. Farmingdale State answered with a 6-1 run to once again pull within four, 43-39, but the Valiants closed the quarter with four straight points as they held a 47-39 advantage heading into the final 10 minutes.

Manhattanville's Julie DeBrocky recorded a 3-pointer and a jumper to start the fourth quarter to go up by 13. The Valiants maintained at least a 10-point edge the rest of the way as they picked up the 74-56 Skyline victory.
