HAMDEN, Conn.  – The Quinnipiac women’s basketball team returned home on Saturday as they defeated the Siena Saints 77-74 in Hamden.  
 
Gal Raviv set a new career-high 32 points on 52.9% (9-17) shooting from the floor. Raviv stuffed the stat sheet, recording eight assists, seven rebounds, and one steal.

After QU took a 40-33 lead with eight seconds left in the half, Siena’s Myriam Traore knocked down a half-court buzzer beater to make it a four-point game at the half.
 
Siena tied the game up early in the third quarter, but the Bobcats responded as their lead stretched back up to eight at the end of the third quarter.
