WINCHESTER, Va. - On the first day of winter, the Shenandoah University women's basketball team completed its fall semester of action with a 55-52 non-conference victory over Frostburg State.

Senior Sierra Edwards, who was named as the USA South Conference Player of the Week on Monday, led the Hornets (4-6) to the win with a game-high 19 points.

Frostburg State (4-6) led 23-21 at the break and as late as the 3:24 mark of the second before Shenandoah finished the game on a 7-2 run.

After FSU had taken a 49-48 lead thanks to a Stephanie Straka 3-pointer, freshman Sara D'Amico answered with a pair of free throws 18 seconds later to put the Hornets back in the lead once again.

Two more free throws, by senior Crystal Williams, gave SU a three-point advantage only to see Frostburg tie it with a Megan Stambaugh 3-pointer at 2:17.

Unfortunately for the Bobcats, this would be their final points of the contest.

Shenandoah clinched the game down the stretch as Edwards and D'Amico (the former doing it twice) hit one of two shots from the line in three trips to the charity stripe.

Frostburg missed two shots and committed one turnover as SU pulled away down the stretch.

Sophomore Haley Smith led the victors on the boards, with seven. FSU won the battle of the glass 44-42.

SU is now off for the holidays and returns to action on January 5 with a USA South Conference contest at No. 3 Christopher Newport.
