LADY MARAUDERS BEAT CHEYNEY, RECORD 12TH STRAIGHT WIN

Feb. 27 – The Millersville University women’s basketball team recorded its 12th consecutive win with a 73-53 victory over Cheyney in front of the huge “blackout” crowd at Pucillo Gymnasium.

Gladine St. Julien (jr. Leesport, Pa./Schuylkill Valley HS), the reigning PSAC East Division Player of the Week,  led the Marauders in scoring for the 11th time this season as she tallied 14 points and nine rebounds.

Four Marauders finished in double figures, including senior Kristin Kunzman (sr. Springfield, Va./Cumberland College), who recorded 10 points in her final regular-season home game as a Marauder.

Ashley Moyer (so. Lebanon, Pa./Cedar Crest) added 12 and Raquel Green (so. Philadelphia , Pa./Coppin St.) added 10 for Millersville (22-4, 11-0 PSAC East).

Kari Cover (sr. East Berlin, Pa./Bermudian Springs HS) scored eight points in her final regular-season home game at MU.

Danielle Jones led Cheyney (11-15, 7-5 PSAC East) with nine points.

Cheyney jumped out to a 9-3 advantage before the Marauders rallied to take the lead for good at the 15:42 mark after a pair of Moyer free throws. It was part of a 14-2 run.

Cheyney crept to within three points with 6:54 left before halftime until a quick 8-0 run helped Millersville build a 16-point lead by halftime (37-21). Moyer hit consecutive three-pointers and a jumper near the end of the half to blow the game open.

The game was never in doubt in the second half as MU extended its lead as high as 32.

The Marauders play their regular-season finale on Sat., March 1 at West Chester. They will look to finish conference play with a perfect record.

The MU ladies will host a PSAC quarterfinal matchup on Tuesday with the opponent and time yet to be determined.
