Four Saints scored in double-figures, led by Katelyn Fischer with a game high 27 points to go with eight assists in the win.  She shot 7-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-5 from three-point range, while going a perfect 8-for-8 at the free throw line.

 

Kievanna Lacey posted a double-double with 19 points and a career high 19 rebounds. Aliya Roseborough chipped in 17 points with Aileen Maknati adding 11.  Miranda Krott posted 12 boards as the Saints outrebounded Frostburg State 47-35 on the day.

 

Marymount never trailed in the game as a close first half saw MU take the initial lead, but were unable to pull away early.  Up 29-25 with 4:31 remaining in the opening frame the Blue and White made their move courtesy of a 14-1 run, capped by a Fischer trifecta, to take a 43-26 lead into halftime.

 

Coming out of the break, the Saints took a 20 point lead at the 18:43 mark and a 30 point advantage with 6:19 remaining in the game.  Marymount would lead by as many as 33 points down the stretch in the win.
