Troy, NY- Purchase College (6-4 overall) improved to 4-2 in the Skyline with a win over conference foe Sage (3-8 overall, 3-3 conference). The Gators went up at halftime 25-23, thanks to Sage's Amber Muir (Schenectady, NY) who blocked two shots and then sunk both ends of a 1-1 with only a few seconds remaining. However, Purchase rallied back to outscore Sage in the second half to secure the 63-49 win. Junior forward Jennifer Danio (Staten Island, NY) netted 15 points and pulled down 18 rebounds while classmate Jen Ciardulli (Centereach, NY) scored 13 points with 4 assists.
