Old Westbury, NY| The St. Joseph's College women's basketball team was edged by SUNY Old Westbury, 66-60, in its Skyline Conference opener on Saturday afternoon.
The Golden Eagles move to 1-3 on the season, 0-1 in Skyline play. The Panthers now sit at 1-3 overall, 1-0 Skyline.
Sophomore Megan Steinman led the SJC offense with 15 points and four assists off the bench. Freshman Julianna Knice was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field and 2-for-2 at the free-throw line for 13 points with sophomore Alyssa Signor finishing in with 10 points.

OW took a slight 41-40 lead into the fourth quarter and increased the lead to 51-41 following a Slash layup at the 6:40 mark.
