The Hudson Valley women's basketball welcomed UConn Avery Point to the McDonough Sports Complex on Thursday evening as the Vikings were defeated 95-70 in their first home game since Nov. 20.

The Pointers were led by Abbie Stone, who hit four three-point field goals and finished with a game-high 36 points.
