LATROBE, Pa. – Saint Vincent College used a 17-0 run through the first 9:36 of the second half to cruise to a 70-33 win on their home court on Saturday night.

In their first year as a full member of the NCAA Division III, Saint Vincent College garnered a lot of respect with a pre-season no.25 national ranking according to D3hoops.com.

Sophomore Heidi Goeller continued her strong early season play as the Gators presence in the post as she picked up 10-first half points before ending the game with a team-high 12 points.

Brittany Sedlock led all scorers with 16 off 47% shooting from the floor (7-15). Teammate Maria Baroffio followed behind Sedlock with 14 points of her own.
