Defensive Clinic Puts Women's Basketball On Top Against CCBC Catonsville

New Rochelle, NY – The Monroe University women's basketball team made quick work of CCBC Catonsville on Saturday afternoon, opening the Monroe basketball tripleheader with an 84-35 win over the Cardinals.

Five players scored in double figures — all freshmen — with Morgan Marshall leading the way with 25 points. Kaylyn Lelie and Carlota Lopez dropped 15 each, while Sydney Huskey and Ariel Walker scored 13 and ten points, respectively.

Early dominance set the tone once again for the Mustangs as they took a 26-9 lead after ten minutes. A 19-0 run was the difference maker, giving Monroe a sizeable lead that it wouldn't relinquish the rest of the way.

An equally dominant 18-8 second quarter run put Monroe up big at halftime. The team scored 21 points off turnovers in the first half after forcing 19 in the opening 20 minutes.

That agenda continued in the second half as the Mustangs forced an additional 15 turnovers. Six players tallied multiple steals in the contest as the team continued to make strides defensively.

The Mustangs won every quarter as they moved to 8-1 on the year. Another test awaits on Thursday, December 5 at 6:00 pm when Monroe takes on Union College.
