Scranton, PA -  The John Jay women's basketball team returned to the court following the Thanksgiving break against the Marywood Pacers on Saturday afternoon. The Bloodhounds trimmed a 14-point deficit down to seven with 4:41 left in the contest but Marywood scored nine of the game's final 15 points to defeat John Jay, 73-63.

Three Bloodhounds finished in double-figures, led by Michaela Lattimore, who registered her fourth double-double of the season, scoring a team-high 16 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in 27 minutes of action.

Briana Minick added 12 points while newcomer Bryan Bascones shot an efficient 4 of 5 from the field to net 11 points for the visitors. Miah Crockett finished with four points, eight rebounds, six assists, and two steals in 33 minutes.

The Pacers held a 5-2 lead following a three from Ciullo before John Jay evened the score with a layup from Lattimore and one of two from the line from Crockett. Marywood scored five straight points to double the lead before the Bloodhounds rallied back with a 6-0 run with Bascones hitting both attempts from the line. With under 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Lattimore converted the traditional three-point play from the line after banking in a layup off the pass from Natalie Simonds, giving the visitors a 16-13 advantage.

Marywood staged a 10-4 run to take a 29-25 lead after Ciullo connected from the outside. The Pacers closed out the second quarter on a 10-1 run as Anstadt was able to convert the tip-in just before halftime, as Marywood led 39-26.

Midway through the third quarter, the Bloodhounds outscored the Pacers, 8-4, as Morgan Kimmi hit on a layup that cut the deficit down to seven, 43-36. Marywood closed out the quarter scoring seven points, with Megan Cavoli hitting a jumper in the paint that pushed their lead to 50-37 but Kimmi ended the quarter with a jumper of her own after getting the pass from Kailani Galan.
