Daemen: Daemen won their fifth straight game and moved to 15-4 overall and 10-3 in ECC play on the season with a 65-33 win over Roberts Wesleyan on Wednesday evening.

District of Columbia: The Firebirds split the week 1-1, defeating Molloy at home, and then falling to Queens College by one point not the road. They will host the College of Staten Island next Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

D'Youville: No team notes submitted.

Mercy: The Mercy College women's basketball team went 1-0 on the week with a win over STAC. The Mavericks were led by senior Katie Wall who scored a career-high and game-high 31 points in the win. Mercy resumes action on Friday when they play at D'Youville at 6 p.m.

Molloy: Molloy went 1-1 on the week, falling to UDC, 74-68, Wednesday, February 8 and defeating Staten Island, 44-39, Saturday, February 11. The Lions now sit at 5-18 overall and 4-10 in league play. The cardinal and white will have an 11-day break before returning to the court against Mercy Wednesday, February 22.

Queens: The Knights went 1-1 on the week falling to Staten Island Wednesday evening before Raven Pitt hook shot stunned UDC in the 48-47 buzzer beater Saturday afternoon. Queens opens a three-game road stand beginning with non-conference action against Wilmington on Wednesday before traveling to Rochester against Roberts Wesleyan on Saturday in ECC action.

Roberts Wesleyan: Roberts lost to both Daemen and D'Youville last week. The Redhawks host Queens on Saturday.

Staten Island: The Dolphins defeated Queens on Wednesday to move one step closer to clinching a playoff spot, but they closed a 1-1 week with a loss at Molloy on Saturday. The Dolphins remain in control of their playoff fate with two conference games remaining.

St. Thomas Aquinas: The St. Thomas Aquinas College Women's Basketball team (17-6, 9-3 ECC) dropped their lone contest of the week, 65-53 at Mercy. STAC will next be in action on February 17 at Daemen (5:30 p.m.) and February 19 at D'Youville (1:00 p.m.).
