Delhi, NY – The Patriots Women's Basketball team traveled to Delhi, NY to take on the Broncos of Suny Delhi on Saturday afternoon.  Valley Forge cut the Bronco lead to two with under a minute to play, but a big layup by Delhi would seal the win for the Broncos.  Valley Forge lost on the road by a score of 80-76.

Offensively, the Patriots had five players score in double figures.  UVF was led by Jhanel Brown with 18 points and 11 rebounds for her 4th double-double of the year.  Cayleen Conrad added 16 points including going 4-7 from long range.  Kaitlyn Hess had 12 points off the bench and Amaya Brown and Alea Flowers each recorded 10 points for Valley Forge.
