FROSTBURG, Md. --- Millersville women's basketball (1-1) returns to the court looking to build on two strong performances from this past weekend's CIAA/PSAC Conference Challenge against Frostburg State (1–1) in their last game of November.

Through two games, Millersville has relied on physicality, significant minutes from underclassmen, and crashing the boards to generate second-chance opportunities. The matchup sets the stage for a competitive early-season test as the Marauders aim to keep momentum moving in the right direction against a Frostburg State team that has shot efficiently and attacked the free-throw line at a high rate.
