Senior Michelle Bevan and sophomore Ashley Oldshue combined for 41 points in leading the Emory women's basketball team to a come-from-behind win over New York University.  The Eagles upped their overall record to 13-5, following a 78-75 decision over the Violets who fell to 10-8 overall.  0-7.

Bevan led all players with a career-high tying 21 points, and her game-high 12 rebounds established a personal best.  She ended the contest hitting 10-of-13 field goal attempts in recording her sixth double-figure scoring performance of the season.  She scored nine fourth-quarter points, hitting four-of-five from the floor in helping the Eagles outpoint the Violets by a 23-15 margin. In addition, she finished with three blocks, all of which came in the fourth quarter.  Oldshue range up 20 points, connecting on eight field goals in 11 opportunities and all four from the free throw line in running her double-figure scoring streak to 15 games.

The Eagles trailed by as many as eight points, 63-55, with 8:39 remaining before mounting their comeback with 6:05 left when Bevan knocked down a three pointer, drawing Emory to within four points.  After NYU reclaimed a six-point edge, a triple by Fran Sweeney trey cut the Violets' lead in half with 4:08 on the clock. The Violets still held a four-point cushion with 2:24 left before Bevan personally accounted for all of Emory's points during a 6-1 spurt, hitting three straight field goals including one with 55 ticks on the clock that put Emory ahead for good, at 76-75.  After a Violet turnover, freshman Lindsey Tse hit one of two free throws to put the Eagles up by a two-point margin.  On its next possession, NYU saw a three-point attempt thwarted by a Bevan block.  After Tse came up with a crucial steal and was fouled, she made one from the stripe that pushed the Eagles to a 78-75 advantage with 19 seconds remaining.  Bevan came up with another block when NYU attempted a drive to rim with 10 ticks.  The Eagles would then survive a pair of NYU three-point attempts in winning for the seventh time in eight home starts.  Over the final 6:05 of the clash, Emory was successful on eight-of-10 field goal tries.
