Cory Boyd (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant) scored 24 points for the third time in the last four games to lead the Wolverines (7-8, 2-4 CAC), but it was not enough.

Neither team scored again until a put back by Heather Fuller (Greenwood, Del./Sussex Tech) with just 47 seconds remained made it again a three-point Mary Washington lead, 61-58. The Eagles drained the shot clock and Katie Wimmer hit a lay up with 17 seconds left to ice the game.
