(LATROBE, Pa.) – Junior guard forward Sydney Moss (St. Albans, W.Va./Boone County (Ky.) scored a game-high 40 points to help No. 1-ranked Thomas More College women's basketball team cap an undefeated regular season with a 91-59 win over Saint Vincent College today (Saturday, February 21, 2015) in a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) game at the Robert S. Carey Center in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

With the win, the Saints complete the regular season at 25-0 overall and 18-0 in the PAC.  The undefeated regular season is the fourth in program history and second-straight.  Thomas More has won 71 regular season games dating back to an overtime loss to Calvin College on November 23, 2012.  The Saints have also won 64 straight PAC regular season games with their last conference loss being a 68-65 loss at Saint Vincent on January 14, 2012.  With the loss, the Bearcats fall to 21-4 overall and 15-3 in the PAC.

Saint Vincent jumped out to an early 6-3 lead when Taylor Mathers made a jumper with 16:44 to play in the first half.  Thomas More answered with a 19-0 run capped by a three-pointer by senior guard Sydni Wainscott (Erlanger, Ky./Simon Kenton) to build a 22-6 lead with 11:25 to play in the opening half.  The Bearcats answered with an 8-0 run to cut the lead to 22-14 with 9:43 to play in the half when Drew Meeker made a three-pointer.  The Saints closed out the half on a 28-16 run to extend the lead to 50-30 at halftime when freshman forward Nikki Kiernan (Cold Springs, Ky./Newport Central Catholic) made one-of-two free-throws with 29-seconds to play in the half.

Thomas More shot 62.1 percent (18-of-29) from the field in the first half, including 71.4 percent (five-of-seven) from behind the three-point arc.

Saint Vincent opened the second half on a 13-7 run to cut the lead to 57-43 with 15:41 to play in the game when Mathers made two free-throws.  Thomas More responded with a 15-2 run to increase the lead to 72-45 when Kiernan made a lay-up with 12:06 to play in the second half.  The Bearcats used an 11-8 run to cut the lead to 80-56 on an Ally Schmidt lay-up with 3:10 to play in the game.  That would be as close as Saint Vincent would come as Thomas More closed out the game on an 11-3 run for the 91-59 victory.

Moss recorded her eighth double-double of the season as she pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds.  Freshman guard Abby Owings (Independence, Ky./Simon Kenton) joined Moss in double-figure scoring with a season-high 20 points to go with a team-high six assists and four steals.  Junior forward Alexa Santamaria (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) just missed double-figure scoring with eight points, while she blocked a team-high three shots.

Thomas More will be the No. 1-seed in next week's PAC Championship Tournament and have a bye into the tournament's semifinal round.  The Saints will host a team to be determined at 6 p.m. next Friday (February 27) at the Connor Convocation Center in Crestview Hills, Kentucky.
