Wilmington, DE - The Millersville University women's basketball team did not shoot the ball well Wednesday evening at the Joseph West Jones Center in Wilmington, Delaware but the Lady Marauders made up for the rough shooting night with another impressive defensive performance in a 69-30 victory over hosting Goldey Beacom.

Millersville (3-0) held an opponent to just 30 points for the second time this season and forced its opponent into 20 or more turnovers for the third straight game by causing 28 on Wednesday.  Goldey Beacom (1-1) was held to just 20.5% shooting in the game and connected on only two field goal attempts in the second half.  The win extends Millersville's regular season winning streak to 16 games dating back to last season.

The Marauders were led by forward Gladine St. Julien for the second straight game as she connected on all ten of her free throw attempts and finished with 14 points.  Freshman Gabrielle Styles delivered the best offensive performance of her young Marauder career hitting on 5-of-7 field goal attempts and finishing with 11 points.  She also pulled down a career-high eight rebounds.  Forward Raquel Green, making her second start of the season, collected nine points on 4-of-6 shooting from the floor and pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds.

Millersville jumped out to a 35-17 lead at halftime despite shooting a dismal 10-of-28 from the field.  The Marauders were, however, able to connect on 2-of-6 3-point field goals in the half as guards Jenna Philo and Ashley Moyer each connected from long range. 

The second half was much of the same for the Marauders on defense as they held the Lightning to just two field goals on 18 shots.  The team finished with 13 steals and three blocks.

Millersville held the advantage in the paint grabbing 46 rebounds to just 24 for GB.  A strong effort on the offensive boards gave the Marauders plenty of second chance opportunities.  The team grabbed 17 of their own missed shots and are averaging 16.6 offensive rebounds per game this season.

The Marauders have started the season 3-0 for the second consecutive season and will look to make it an identical feat from 2007 of 4-0 when they return home to Pucillo Gymnasium to take on the University of the Sciences on Monday, November 24 with game time set for 6 p.m.
