Elizabethtown, Pa. - Junior forward
Allie Scott (Laurel, Md./Atholton) and sophomore
guard Steph Saint-Aubin (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth
Seton) combined for 34 points in leading the St. Mary's College of
Maryland women's basketball team to a 63-52 road victory over
non-conference opponent, Elizabethtown College, Monday night.
Scott tallied a game-high 22 points and matched her career-high
for the second time with a game-high three blocks.
Saint-Aubin recorded her fourth double-double of the season on 12
points and a game-high 10 boards, while also equaling her
career-high for the fourth time with a game-high seven steals.
The Seahawks (12-6) never trailed in the contest as St. Mary's
shot a strong 45.2% from the floor in the first half to boast a
30-21 halftime lead. Scott led everyone at intermission with
12 points on 6-of-7 shooting, while Saint-Aubin hauled in seven
rebounds.
Senior guard Erin Walton (Columbus,
N.J./Northern Burlington County) paced Elizabethtown with seven
first-half points as the Blue Jays (9-8) could only muster 9-of-32
from the field in the first stanza.
St. Mary's steadily increased its margin in the second half as
the Seahawks owned a double digit for the last 16:30 of the
game. SMCM sported a 21-point (58-37) advantage with a little
over six minutes remaining. The Blue Jays put together a 15-3
run to pull within 61-52 at 00:58 but that would be the closest
Elizabethtown would get as time expired.
Walton finished the night with a team-high 20 points, six
caroms, and four steals, while junior forward Jenn
Montague (Newark, Del./St. Mark's) added 11 points, seven
rebounds, and four steals. As a team, the Blue Jays shot
30.5% from the floor, including going 1-for-10 from downtown.
This is the third straight contest dropped by Elizabethtown.
The Seahawks will look to continue their winning ways on
Wednesday when St. Mary's hosts the Capital Athletic Conference's
(CAC) second-best team, Marymount (Va.) University, in league play
at 6:00. The Seahawks hope to avenge their December 1st 79-70
loss at Marymount.
