Bayside, NY | The Lady Panthers basketball team matched up against the Queensborough Tigers on Tuesday night with the opportunity to secure a spot in the conference playoffs if they could win on the road.

The women's basketball team forced 22 turnovers and held the Tigers offense to just 21.1% shooting from the field in the 20 point victory.
