Freshman center Moutiatou Djibring had a big game on the glass, as she grabbed a game-high 28 rebounds. 
 
On the men's side, Monroe – Bronx (13-9, 7-4 Region 15) has won three consecutive Region 15 contests, a streak that started with a 71-40 victory at LaGuardia Community College back on January 20. Leading the way for Monroe – Bronx in that victory was sophomore guard Jovan Young, who scored a game-high 24 points on 10-for-16 shooting from the field, including 3-for-5 from beyond the arc, while dishing out four assists, forcing three steals, and grabbing two rebounds. For LaGuardia (3-15, 3-11 Region 15), freshman guard Travon Lawrence generated 19 points, five rebounds, four assists, and a pair of steals.
