Johnson Tops 20 Points In Sixth Straight, But Bonnies Drop 62-54 Decision at Fordham

BRONX. N.Y. – The St. Bonaventure University women's basketball team fell to Fordham, 62-54, Saturday evening at Rose Hill Gym.

Asianae Johnson again led the way for the Bonnies with a game-high 23 points, 17 of which came in second half, on 7-of-16 shooting from the field and 9-for-12 from the free throw line. I'yanna Lops also tallied double figures for the Bonnies, chipping in 13 points and pulling down eight rebounds.

The Bonnies and Rams came out of the halftime break trading baskets throughout the entire third quarter.

Lops gave the visitors a lift on an and-one with 4:51 showing in the third and then Johnson converted another free throw to tie the game, 30-30.

Johnson gave the Bonnies their first lead since the first quarter with 55 second left in the third, 42-40.

A quick 5-0 spurt from the Rams, however, gave the hosts a 45-42 edge heading into the final period.

After a quick Lops bucket to open the fourth, Fordham used an 8-0 run to retake the lead, 53-44.

Johnson went to the free throw line with 2:23 to play, making both and bringing the Bonnies within five, 59-54.

That is as close as they would get as the Rams locked down defensively, earning the victory.

The Rams (15-5, 6-2 A-10) used an 8-0 run to end the first, taking an early 15-9 lead.

St. Bonaventure (10-9, 2-6) bounced back in the second, outscoring the Rams 9-4 over the first three minutes to pull within one, 19-18.

Fordham grabbed a four-point halftime lead after Millie Prior's layup as time expired in the half.
