Women’s Basketball Falls in Season Opener at Staten Island

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (11/15/25) – The Franklin Pierce University women's basketball team opened its 2025-26 campaign on the road Saturday evening, falling 67-47 to the College of Staten Island inside the Sports & Recreation Center.

Score: Staten Island 67, Franklin Pierce 47
Records: Franklin Pierce (0-1), Staten Island (1-0)
Location: Staten Island, N.Y.
Date: November 15, 2025

HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • Staten Island struck first and jumped out to a 9-0 lead before a three from Janaya Prince-Baquero got the Ravens on the board at the 6:33 mark. Franklin Pierce settled in defensively and twice cut the deficit to four, including a late jumper from Prince-Baquero to make it 14-10 after one. 
  • The second quarter proved to be the separation point. The Dolphins opened the frame on an 11-0 run, capitalizing on turnovers and second-chance opportunities while holding the Ravens without a field goal for nearly seven minutes. Franklin Pierce scored just five points in the quarter—all from the bench—and trailed 28-15 at halftime.
  • The offense found rhythm in the third as the Ravens posted an 18-point period. Emily Mennillo sparked the push with five quick points, and Natalie Beaudoin and Liv Murray each knocked down threes to keep Franklin Pierce within reach. However, Staten Island continued to answer inside, outscoring the Ravens 14-4 in the paint during the quarter to expand its lead to 51-33.
  • Franklin Pierce continued to battle in the fourth, getting to the line and converting on second-chance baskets, but Staten Island's lead never dipped below 18. The Dolphins controlled possession late and closed out the game to secure the opening-night win.
BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS 
  • Emily Mennillo led Franklin Pierce with 14 points, adding five rebounds and four assists.
  • Janaya Prince-Baquero finished with nine points, including a pair of threes.
  • Lova Engren Wiorek pulled down a team-high seven rebounds off the bench.
  • The Ravens got 23 points from their bench and forced 18 Staten Island turnovers.
UP NEXT FOR THE RAVENS: The Ravens will continue play at the CSI Conference Challenege. They will take on Holy Family tomorrow (11/16) at 1:00 p.m.
