The Hudson Valley Community College women's basketball extended its win streak to three straight following the Vikings 59-44 win over the Broome Hornets on Sunday afternoon in the McDonough Sports Complex on campus of Hudson Valley Community College.

Following a short delay, the Vikings and Hornets tipped off the scheduled men's and women's doubleheader as both programs exchanged baskets throughout the turnover laden first half, which featured 31 total turnovers, including 19 by the Vikings, who entered the halftime break with a 31-28 advantage. 

The Vikings increased the defensive pressure in the second half as they jumped out on Broome with a 12-4 run and outscored the Hornets 16-7 in the third quarter. Junasia Lanier led the Vikings run with six points and Bruno added a pair of baskets in the third quarter. 

In the fourth, the Vikings kept Broome at a distance and secured their eighth win of the season and third consecutive. Kat Stackrow finished the game with 15 points and 10 rebounds in 36 minutes of action. Dejonick Senior shot 4-of-6 from the floor for 8 points and added two rebounds in 22 minutes of play.
