Beyond The Box Score

• Meghan Foley booked a career-high nine steals in today's contest. Today also marked her eighth 30+ point game of the season.
• Sarah Gibbs recorded her tenth double-double of the season.
• Said Head Coach Carter Shaw: "Meghan was simply magnificent this afternoon. Her ability to make shots and create offense for others is extraordinary. She certainly led the charge for us as she neared a triple double but there was great support around her. Sarah Gibbs' double-double was huge and Madison Wynbeek and Olivia Gagnon made gigantic contributions as well. Our second half defensive effort was a huge component of the game. Our players really stepped up and controlled things from a defensive and rebounding standpoint. Those stops allowed us to get into transition and opened the floor up for us offensively."
