Staten Island, NY  |  The College of Staten Island Women's Basketball team kept their win streak going with their second big win of the season over the Medgar Evers College Cougars, 87-29.  The Dolphins led from start to finish as they improved to 12-8 with their seventh straight win while the Cougars fell to 4-14 with the defeat.

The Dolphins were in complete control from the opening tip scoring the game's first basket only six seconds after the clock started running.  From there, they scored the next eight to go ahead 10-0 less than 1:30 into the opening quarter.  The Cougars finally got on the board from the free-throw line to make it 10-1, but the Dolphins then rattled off another sixteen straight points to blow the game wide open and take a twenty-five- point, 26-1, lead.  Megan McEwan led the way for the Dolphins in the first with 11 points allowing the CSI coaching staff to begin getting the reserves some playing time early as CSI finished the quarter ahead 26-3.

The Cougars opened the second quarter scoring to make it 26-5, but the Dolphins didn't miss a beat at the offensive end of the floor as Deidre Foster and Jada Rogers each scored four quick points to put CSI in front by twenty-nine.  After Rogers got on the board again to put the Dolphins ahead thirty-one, the Cougars scored their final points of the half to get back within twenty nine, 39-10.  The Dolphins would then score the last seven points of the half, six belonging to Lola Plamenco, and took a 46-10 lead into the halftime break.

For the Cougars, no player had more than four through two quarters as the team shot only 4-28.  CSI shot 46.5% in the half led in scoring by McEwan's 12 and Rogers' 11.  Foster added nine more to go along with five rebounds which was tied for the team-lead on the glass with Brianna Robisky.

Just as they opened the game, CSI got the third quarter started with another 10-0 run that included a pair of Kristina Arvelo three-pointers.  After the Cougars snapped a scoreless streak that had extended back to the 3:40 mark in the second with 7:03 on the clock on the third, Arvelo hit her third of the quarter from beyond the arc.  The Cougars quickly answered with a three of their own, but Plamenco answered from downtown for CSI moments later to give the Dolphins a 62-16 lead. 

Entering the fourth quarter, the Cougars had scored six of the game's last ten points, but the Dolphins would not let them get any closer than forty-four.  Leading by forty-five, Kayla Schmitter connected on three straight shots for CSI to push their advantage above the fifty-point mark.  It was at this point that the scoring slowed considerably as the Dolphins only score nine points in the final 5:30 of the game on their way to an 87-29 victory.

Five Dolphins scored in double-figures, McEwan, Rogers, Schmitter, Foster, and Plamenco, each without playing more than 22 minutes.  As a team, the Dolphins shot 45.1% from the field with the only blemishes on the stat line being their three-point shooting, 24.2% and their free-throw shooting, 50%.  Destiny Simmons was the only player to score double-digits for the Cougars with 11, and she accounted for three of the team's eleven made field goals.  Semina Radoncic and Chaniya Daughtry each registered three made shots as well, and Keyara Flowers had two made shots of her own.  

The Dolphins are next in action on Tuesday when they open a Pride Night doubleheader against the York College Cardinals at 5:30 PM.
