Game Program

St. Mary's City, Md. - The University of Mary Washington women's basketball team used a balanced attack to easily dispose of St. Mary's College of Maryland Saturday afternoon as the nationally-ranked Eagles notched a 66-39 win in Capital Athletic Conference action.  Mary Washington came into this afternoon's match-up ranked No. 21 in the USA Today ESPN/WBCA Top 25 and No. 22 in the D3hoops.com Top 25 polls.

In a game that was marred by 48 turnovers and 43 personal fouls between the two squads, Mary Washington (12-2, 4-1 CAC) dominated the contest from start to finish as the Eagles picked up their third straight victory.

The Eagles flew off to a 36-20 halftime lead after opening the contest with a 13-3 run.  Mary Washington's freshman guard Jenna McRae (Springfield, Va./Annandale) led all players at the half with 10 points off the bench on 4-of-5 shooting, while senior guard Katy Larson (McGaheysville, Va./Spotswood) added nine rebounds and eight points.

Sophomore guard Jamie Roberts (Rockville, Md./Barrie) paced St. Mary's (3-10, 2-4 CAC) with nine first-half points as Roberts was 7-of-8 from the charity stripe.

Sub par shooting hindered the Seahawks as St. Mary's went 8-of-35 from the floor for the game, including a 0-for-4 effort from downtown.

McRae finished the afternoon with a game-high 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting before fouling out, while freshman guard Katie Wimmer (Vienna, Va./James Madison) added 11 points and four steals.  Larson contributed a game-best 11 boards along with her eight first-half points.

Roberts and senior forward Allie Scott (Laurel, Md./Atholton) were the only two Seahawks in twin figures.  Roberts led the way with 14 after going 8-of-11 from the free throw line, while Scott had 10 on 8-of-10 shooting from the line.

St. Mary's returns to action this coming Monday, January 19 as the Seahawks host Gallaudet University in another CAC tilt at noon.  The women's game is the first of a CAC doubleheader as the men will square off against the Bison at 2:00.
