Hunter College swept Baruch College in both games of the 20th annual Battle of Lexington, the City University of New York said, with the Hunter Hawks beating the Baruch Bearcats 81-53 in the women’s game and 68-58 in the men’s game.
The matchup, which CUNY said it celebrated Feb. 5, is a two-decade basketball rivalry between the two CUNY colleges located on Lexington Avenue, pitting their men’s and women’s teams against each other. According to the university, this year’s women’s faceoff featured Hunter’s Alexa Charles, whom CUNY described as currently the top scorer across all three NCAA divisions of women’s basketball. The university said Charles led her team to victory in both this year’s and last year’s battle.
