Coach's Corner - Head Coach Lynda Day
"A team effort win as we got big minutes off the bench from Tiffany (Bogle). Her athleticism is exactly what we needed on the defensive end and she continues to crash the boards. Ayanna (Edwards) stepped up on the offensive end, as we have been waiting for her to find her rhythm and tonight she put that on display." 
John Jay had three players score in double-figures, led by Chayanne Kelly, who netted a team-high 25 points on 8 of 19 shooting from the field while converting 5 of 8 from three-point distance in 36 minutes. 
 
For Kelly, this marks the 13th time in 14 games that she has scored in double figures and the 25 points marks her seventh career 20-point scoring game. Ayanna Edwards netted 13 points on 6 of 9 shooting while recording four steals in 37 minutes of action. 
 
Tiffany Bogle rounded out the double-figure scoring performances, as she finished with 12 points on 5 of 11 shooting while filling up the statsheet, grabbing seven rebounds, four steals, a block and an assist in 26 minutes. 
 
Ashley Zeolla and Kamryn Hammond narrowly registered double-doubles, as Zeolla finished with eight points and a team-high ten rebounds while Hammond finished with eight points and nine rebounds. 
 
Baruch also had three players score in double figures, led by Mia Castillo as she finished with a double-double of 28 points and ten rebounds, all coming on the defensive end in 40 minutes of play. 
 
Angela Bacarella netted 12 points on 6 of 12 shooting and grabbing six rebounds while Elissa Leung added ten points in 40 minutes of action. 
 
Baruch raced to a 10-2 lead following a fastbreak layup from Castillo. John Jay answered back with eight straight points, capped by a Kelly three-pointer off the feed from Zeolla. 
 
The Bearcats went ahead by five, 17-12, at the 4:27 mark after a three-pointer from Castillo but John Jay closed out the first quarter with four straight points to trim the deficit to one, 17-16. 
 
Kelly opened the second quarter scoring for the visitors with a three-pointer, as John Jay took the lead, 19-17. 
 
The Bloodhounds used an 11-4 run to extend their lead to 30-23 as Bogle converted on the mid-range jumper. Baruch narrowed the gap to three, 30-27, with 2:37 left before the break as Bacarella hit a jumper in the paint.
 
John Jay closed out the stanza scoring nine of the final 12 points in the frame, taking a 39-30 halftime lead. 
 
The Bloodhounds had the shooter's touch in the second quarter, hitting 60.0 percent from the field (9 of 15) and 80.0 percent from long distance (4 of 5). Baruch was limited to 29.4 percent from the floor (5 of 17) and hit just 25.0 percent from three-point range (2 of 8). 
 
Baruch opened the second half with five straight points to inch within four, 39-35. The visitors regained the momentum, going up by nine, 46-37, after Zeolla banked home two on the left-handed layup. 
 
The Bloodhounds took a 50-39 lead with 2:08 left in the quarter as Bogle put back the loose ball following a missed three-point attempt.
 
Baruch continued to fight back in the contest, scoring five of the final seven points but trailed 52-44 after a jumper by Edwards pushed the visitors' lead to eight. 
 
John Jay started the fourth quarter on a 6-0 run, capped by another Bogle layup as the Bloodhounds claimed a 58-44 lead. 
 
Baruch converted eight straight free throws to bring the deficit down to six, 58-52 before Bogle stole the ball from Brianna Lopez and found Edwards, who cruised to the basket.
 
Kelly made a pair from the free throw line that increased the lead to nine, 65-56 with just 34 seconds showing on the game clock. 
 
Bacarella hit on a layup followed by two made free throws from Castillo chipped into the John Jay lead, 65-60, with 20 seconds remaining in regulation. 
 
Leung followed Edwards, who made one of two from the line. On the ensuing Baruch possession, Lopez misfired in the paint as Hannah Ruberto grabbed the loose ball for the visitors before being fouled.
 
The graduate transfer forward sank both of her free throw attempts that sealed the game for the Bloodhounds and handed the Bearcats their first loss in conference play. 
 
For the game, John Jay shot 41.3 percent from the field (26 of 63) while hitting on 6 of 11 from the outside (54.5 percent). Baruch was held to just 31.3 percent shooting and 30.4 percent from three-point range despite converting on 76.5 percent from the free-throw line (13 of 17).

The Bloodhounds close out the week on Saturday, January 13 as they welcome Lehman to The Doghouse.
