Millersville, Pa. - Forward Gladine St. Julien showed why she was selected to the Preseason All-PSAC East First Team as she scored a game-high 21 points and pulled down eight rebounds to lead the Millersville University women's basketball team to an 84-65 victory over visiting Lock Haven Sunday afternoon in the final game of the MU Tipoff Classic.
