BUFFALO - The MCC women's basketball team used a tenacious defensive effort to defeat Erie Community College 61-45 Saturday afternoon.
The win was the ninth in a row for the Tribunes, who move to 10-4 on the season.

Tyese Purvis (Queens, NY/Francis Lewis) came up big off the bench for the Tribunes, pumping in a team-high 16 points to go along with seven rebounds and three steals. Rayia McKnight (Baltimore, MD/Western) and Dionne Coe (Brooklyn, NY/Murry Bergtraum) added 10 points apiece.
Coe chipped in with a team-leading five steals, while Donisha Watson (Bronx, NY/Mount Vernon) had six points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks. Karin Robinson (Queens, NY/Mary Louis Academy) finished with eight points, five assists, and two steals.
