Stevenson Women Eliminated from Conference Tourney

Playing in their first postseason game since the 2007-08 season, Stevenson women’s basketball found themselves down just a point at 50-49 with 6:20 remaining in the second half.

However, top-seeded Salisbury proceeded to go on a 9-1 run to widen its lead to nine with under a minute to play. The host Sea Gulls would ice the game at the foul line to preserve a 62-56 win in the CAC Women’s Basketball Championship first round.

The Mustangs (10-16)—who finish the season with their first double-digit win total since their 2006-07 campaign—were paced by junior Sam Murray and freshman Kyarra Harmon who finished with 13 and 12 points, respectively. 

Although the Mustangs held their opponents to just  18 made field goals—and an anemic 33 percent shooting percentage—they could not keep Salisbury (15-10) off of the free throw line, where the Sea Gulls shot 23 of 29 (79 percent) for the game.  

As a team, Stevenson committed 18 turnovers leading to 21 Salisbury points.
