COACH'S QUOTE
"I think when our guards can get our posts the ball at the right time and our posts can make the right decisions, and they have to change to the game that can put a lot of pressure on other teams," said Mayer Head Women's Basketball Coach Alisa Kresge. "I think we are playing with confidence and when we are taking the shots within our wheelhouse, they are really hard to defend."

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Catamounts opened the game on an 8-2 run, with Olson scoring all eight points into the first media timeout.
Vermont went on a 14-6 run to close the quarter with six points from Emma Haan, four from Bella Vito, and four from Olson.
