Marauders Take Down Bald Eagles on Senior Day

Box Score Millersville, Pa. – The Millersville women's basketball team defeated Lock Haven 75-62 to eliminate the Bald Eagles from PSAC Tournament contention and stay in the running for a first round home game.
 
The Marauders (14-11, 9-6 PSAC East) shot a blistering 51 percent from the field including 6-for-11 from 3-point land. Lock Haven (6-19, 4-11 PSAC East) answered that with just a 37.9 field goal percentage of its own. The Bald Eagles also became the first 2013-14 Marauder opponent to go without a 3-point field goal (0-for-8).
 
Senada Mehmedovic was one of four Marauders in double-figures and played brilliantly in what could be her final home game in the black and gold. Senada poured in 17 points, 13 of which came in the second half, on 5-of-14 shooting including 1-for-4 from behind the arc and made all six of her free throw attempts. She also tied a career-high eight rebounds and secured two steals. Millersville improved to 17-3 in the senior's career when she scores at least 10 points.
 
Celeste Robinson is getting back on track and it couldn't come at a better time with postseason play just around the corner. The sophomore guard led all scorers with 21 points, was 8-of-11 from the field including 1-for-1 from behind the arc and made four of her seven attempts at the charity stripe. Robinson also had four assists, two rebounds and a block.
 
Alexis Martin chipped in 14 points and eight boards while Shelby Reimer added 12 points on 3-of-5 shooting from behind the arc.
 
Millersville led by just four at the half, 36-32, but opened the second frame on a 20-8 run and led by 16, 56-40. That stretch was powered by seven points from Robinson, six from Martin, four from Senada, and a triple by Reimer. The Marauders then increased their lead to as many as 18, 64-46, with 7:26 to play in the game. From that point on, the slimmest margin was 11 at the 1:44 mark but Millersville held on for the double-digit victory.
 
The Marauders opened the game with a 9-0 furry and made their first nine attempts from the field. Robinson tallied four points on a pair of layups during that opening run. Millersville pushed its lead to 11, 28-17, with 7:41 to play before the intermission. The visitors cut the deficit back to two, 28-26, with a 9-0 run of their own. The scoring was pretty even the rest of the first stanza and the Marauders had a four-point advantage heading into the locker rooms.
 
On the day, Millersville dominated the rebounding department 42-31 including 31-19 on the defensive glass. However, Lock Haven was much better in bench scoring (28-6).
 
The Marauders will travel to Shippensburg on Wednesday in their final regular season contest with tip set for 6 p.m.
