Women's Basketball CCNY (5-2 overall, 0-1 CUNYAC North) won its only game of the week, a 73-64 defeat of Mitchell College, in large part due to the play of this week’s Rookie of the Week, Ashley Straughn. The freshman center recorded game highs with 20 points and 15 rebounds. She added two assists, three steals and one blocked shot in 30 minutes of action. CCNY returns to action in two weeks, when Gallaudet University travels to the Nat Holman Gym on December 29.

Straughn also received Honor Roll mention for the Met Basketball Writers Association.
Did you know that CCNY won the NCAA and NIT Tournaments in the 1949-1950 season and is the only school to ever win both tournaments in the same season?
