The College of Staten Island women's basketball team ended their 2011-12 regular season on a down note, falling on the road to Farmingdale State College, 54-37, in Farmingdale, New York.  The Rams improved to 14-8 overall in the win, while CSI fell for the second-straight outing, falling to 9-13 overall.

Junior guard Jeanette Zubizarreta hit five three-pointers tonight to lead the Rams, but it was CSI that took the lead early in the first and led until the 10-minute mark.  Then Zubizarreta hit two straight three-pointers to give Farmingdale a 16-14 lead. The Rams held a 23-18 lead at the break and would shoot 48-percent in the second half to cruise to the victory. Zubizarreta finished with a game-high 15 points for the night.
