St. Mary's City, Md. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland women's basketball team snapped their seven-game skid Saturday afternoon with a 74-68 comeback victory over Frostburg State University in Capital Athletic Conference action.

Along with her career-high 18, Nowlin notched career-bests of seven steals and four triples while Kline added a career-high six assists.

Frostburg (2-10, 0-6 CAC) regrouped and answered in the second period, outscoring the hosts, 18-9, to cut its deficit to 31-28 at halftime as first-year forward Amber Downey (Baltimore, Md./Chesapeake) knocked down a jumper with six ticks on the clock.
