COBLESKILL - The SUNY Cobleskill women’s basketball team closed out the semester by extending their current winning streak to three games with a 69-42 non-conference victory over the Mountaineers of Southern Vermont College (SVC) on Sundayafternoon at the Iorio Gymnasium. With the win the Fighting Tigers improve to 6-3 on the year while the Mountaineers fall to 1-7 overall.

The Fighting Tigers used their superior size to dominate the backboards throughout the contest out rebounding SVC by a 61-to-28 margin and using the extra chances to post a 30-to-2 advantage in second chance opportunities on the afternoon.

Freshman forward Cristal Malloy, New York, N.Y., Kipp NYC College Prep High School, was also a factor off the bench for the home team with six points, and seven rebounds in a reserve role.
