The New York University women's basketball team, ranked #7 in the nation by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association and #9 by D3hoops.com, continued its dominating play with a wire-to-wire 75-63 University Athletic Association (UAA) victory over Case Western University on Friday in Cleveland , Ohio.

The Violets (18-1, 9-1) scored the first six points of the game and never looked back in defeating the Spartans (7-14, 2-8) on their home court.

After Case Western pulled to within one at 8-7, NYU scored the next nine points and went on to lead by six, 25-19, after the first quarter.

The NYU advantage grew to as many as 16 points in the second quarter and the Violets went on to lead 45-31 at halftime.

The Spartans were able to trim their deficit to seven points twice in the third quarter, but the Violets recaptured a double-digit lead, 62-51, at the conclusion of the session.

Case Western again pulled within seven early in the final quarter. But, a 12-2 NYU run ensued and the Violets grabbed a game-high 17-point lead, 75-58, on Brooklyn Shelton's layup with 1:17 remaining.
