ABOUT THE GAME
· The 21st-ranked Millersville women's basketball team is coming off of a 75-64 win over East Stroudsburg Wednesday evening. The Marauders never trailed throughout the entire contest and even held the visiting Warriors scoreless for the final seven minutes of the first period and the first three minutes of the second.
· Although ESU fought back from a 17-point deficit to cut the lead to nine with just over a minute  remaining, Millersville held off the Warriors by sinking six of its final eight free throw attempts to secure the victory.
· Sophomores Aurielle Mosley and Mashira Newman combined for 41 of Millersville's 75 points. Newman tallied 19 and just missed a double-double with a game-high eight assists. Mosley scored a game-high 22 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and had seven blocks. In the contest she set the MU single-season records in the rebound and block categories. Mosley's 299 rebounds surpassed the 293 mark set back in 1991 and her 72 blocks moves her past 2006's record of 70. It was also Mosley's eighth-straight and 14th overall double-double performance, and marked the sixth-consecutive game in which she totaled at least 20 points and 12 rebounds.
· The Marauders lead the PSAC in field goal percentage defense as they limit their opponents to just .355 shooting from the field. Millersville also leads the blocked shots, offensive rebound and rebounding margin categories--a position the club has held for the majority of the season. MU grabs down an average of 20.0 offensive boards per game and out-rebounds its opponents by a +11.4 margin for second in Division II. Millersville also blocks an average of 6.0 shots per game and is locked with two other squads for second in the division.
· On Saturday Millersville and the Golden Rams will face off for the second time this season. The last time out the Marauders rolled past West Chester, 81-59 in Pucillo Gymnasium to hand the visitors their first conference loss of the season.
