The Eagles jumped out to a 12-4 lead with 11 minutes remaining in the first half, and expanded the lead to 28-14 by halftime. The second half saw UMW expand the lead to as many as 30 before settling on the 28-point win.

Wimmer went 7-12 from the floor with one three pointer, and made all three of her free throws. Howland was 4-4 from the field. Both grabbed five rebounds. Aby Diop (Springfield, Va., Annandale) led UMW with 10 boards, as the Eagles held a 40-24 margin on the glass. UMW shot 46% from the field while limiting the Mustangs to 28%, and held their fifth straight opponent under 50 points to start the year. The Eagles also blocked a season-high seven shots in the game.
