The Mount Ida College women's basketball team dropped their final game of the season against hosting Suffolk University, 70-57, this past Saturday in Boston, Massachusetts.  The Mustangs round out the season at 9-16, 3-9 in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC). 

Mount Ida's Parisi led all scorers with 18 points. Parisi reached the 1,000 point mark for her career with a free-throw with 8:51 remaining in the first half. It was her seventh point of the contest, as she became only the third player in Mustangs history to accomplish that feat.

A Duquette three-pointer put the Rams in front, 59-53 and got Suffolk started on a 14-4 run to end the game. Bowman and Duquette led the run with five points each. Tracey scored the other four points to wrap up the victory.
