BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Medaille College women's basketball team got their redemption over the Mount Aloysius Mounties in a win this afternoon. The Mavericks won a dominant game 77-48.

Xaneya Thomas (Binghamton, NY, Binghamton), Erin Hardick (Buffalo, NY, Sacred Heart) and Morgan Kennedy (Philadelphia, PA, West Catholic Prep) put up two points each giving the Mavs a 6-0 lead before the Mounties began to score. Their first two scores were threes back-to-back, so it was back to an even score. Desmonique Veal (Buffalo, NY, City Honors) put them back in the lead with two jumpers in the paint. It wasn't until a free throw from Thomas at 5:17, that the Mavs really started to run away with the lead. Hardick, Veal, Thomas, and Shyanne Trinh (Dorchester, MA, Stoughton) added to the score to put them ahead 20-10. Kennedy made one more jumper to finish the quarter 22-13.

They went into halftime leading 41-22.

The third quarter was more of the same, with the Mavericks only allowing another nine points. It would be their lowest scoring quarter of the game, but they still kept their feet on the gas.

A couple more minutes came off the clock until Caiden Crego (Newark, NY, Lyons) put two more on the board. With just under one minute left, Hardick made a layup to put the Mavs ahead by 26 points.
