ORANGEBURG, N.Y. – The Roberts Wesleyan women's basketball team managed to get their first win of the season against Felician College, 73-62. The game was the Redhawks' first of two games at the Annual Regina Memorial Tournament hosted by Dominican College.
 
The Redhawks outshot the Golden Falcons as Roberts would go 22-for-55 (40%) from the field and went 6-for-15 (40%) from three-point territory. The Golden Falcons ended up shooting 22-for-66 (33 %) from the field and 9-for-31 (29%) on three-pointers.

The Buffalo, New York native also added two assists and two steals.
 
Roberts would finish the first quarter down by five points but the Redhawks regrouped and came back and take the lead before halftime, 34-27.

The second half appeared to be all Redhawks as Roberts would take a 10-point lead early in the third quarter. However, Roberts' lead would trickle down to only one by the end of the quarter. The Golden Falcons would fight back but a few late jumpers made from freshman forward Taryn Wilson and a foul drawn by Sara Nady would seal up the win for the Redhawks.
