Blues Battle On The Road Against The CC Philly Lions

Philadelphia, PA - The Brookdale Community College women's basketball team put together a determined road effort but ultimately fell to the Community College of Philadelphia Lions, 57-48. The loss moves the Jersey Blues to a 9-8 overall record as they continue through a demanding stretch of contests.

Freshman guard Leomary Diaz-Merino powered Brookdale's offense throughout the afternoon, finishing with 18 points while distributing five assists. Her playmaking kept the Blues within striking distance, but the Lions managed to pull away late behind steady scoring and defensive pressure.

Brookdale will remain on the road for its next contest, traveling to Toms River, New Jersey, to face the Ocean County College Vikings on Saturday, January 31st at 2:00pm. The Blues will look to rebound with a strong performance as they continue their push through the second half of the season.
