DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. -  A triumphant 25-3 fourth quarter gave the women's basketball team the boost to top East Coast Conference rival Mercy College 59-47 on the road Saturday afternoon. 

Roberts was able to stay in the game with a strong first ten minutes out scoring the Mavericks 20-14 and giving them the cushion they needed during the second and third quarters where they only scored a combined 14 points in comparison to Mercy's 30. 

Taryn Wilson and Dimitra Gkizani led the team each scoring 14 points for the Redhawks. The duo assisted in erasing the ten point deficit using a 16 point run catalyzed by a three point fast break by Wilson then seconds later, a layup by Gkizani.  Both sophomores were key players for the Redhawks with Wilson adding nine rebounds and three blocks and Gkizani adding seven rebounds, three blocks, and an assist.

17 points came from the bench for Roberts and only allowed the Mavs to score three points in the fourth quarter taking the largest lead of 12 points with only 13 seconds remaining securing the road win for the Redhawks. 

A double double by Emily Miller also highlighted the Roberts win scoring 10 points and 10 rebounds. The senior also added three blocks, a steal, and an assist. The fourth Redhawk to break into double digits was Sara Nady with 11 points. 

The team was 28-for-58 (34.5%) in the paint, 8-for-18 (44.4%) beyond the arc, and 91.7% (11-for-12) for free throws.

The Redhawks are now headed to the Sunshine State for the Hampton Inn Classic taking place on December 20th.
