BOX SCORE

NEW YORK - 2025 CUNYAC Women's Basketball Championship MVP Dior Dorsey finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and four steals as third-seeded Brooklyn claimed its fifth consecutive CUNYAC women's basketball championship with a 59-54 win over host and top-seeded Hunter Thursday night at a sold-out Hunter Sportsplex.

Brooklyn (17-11) earns the CUNYAC's automatic berth to the 2025 NCAA Division III Championship and will learn its next opponent Monday at 2:30 pm as the NCAA selection show airs on NCAA.com.

The Bulldogs led 36-29 midway through the third quarter when Hunter (20-6) used a 9-0 run capped by a Katie Burke three to take a two-point lead, 38-36, with 2:18 on the clock.  Brooklyn countered with a 7-0 run to close out the third and a Ameea Daniel three in the final minute put the Bulldogs up 43-38 headed to the fourth.

Hunter got the lead to two, 50-48, on an Alexa Charles basket midway through the fourth.  After Brooklyn went up six, 57-51, on two Alina Estrella free throws with 1:05 on the clock, Makkedah Murray was fouled shooting a three with 33 seconds left and sank all three free throws to halve the lead.  BC sank two free throws down the stretch to secure the win.

Dorsey was one of three Bulldogs in double figures.  Estrella racked up 13 points and dished out eight assists, while Anna Kitch added 11 points and eight rebounds.  Daniel and Aleah Rafat added nine and eight points, respectively.
