VESTAL, N.Y. - The Mansfield University women's basketball team traveled to NCAA Division I Binghamton University for an early-season exhibition game on Tuesday night, Nov. 23.
The Bearcats proved to be too much, running away with a 104-45 victory. The contest did not count as an official game for the Mountaineers, but served as an early-season test for the young squad as they head into Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) action.
For the Mounties, (1-2 overall) freshman
Kristen Fulford scored a team-high eight points, while pulling in three rebounds, plucking two steals and going 4-of-5 at the free-throw line. Junior
Alivia Paeglow and
Kayla Cincilla each scored seven points off the bench, while Cincilia finished 7-of-10 from the charity stripe and hauled in a team-high four rebounds. Seniors
Paige Whitfield and
Kira Merritt each knocked down a 3-pointer on their way to five points.
Birna Benonysdottir (27 points) and Clare Traeger (20 points) led the way for the Bearcats, who shot 58 percent (35-of-60) from the floor and 62 percent (13-of-21) from 3-point land.
The Mounties return to regular season action on Monday, Nov. 29 at 5 p.m. for their final non-conference game as they travel to Frostburg State University.
