OMAHA, NE – The University of Mary women's basketball team dominated the paint and rolled to a 76-46 road win at the College of St. Mary. Cassie Askvig and Gabbie Bohl combined for 33 points to lead the Marauders to their first win of the season.
 
Playing their third game in three days, the Marauders jumped out to a 21-12 lead at the end of the first quarter. Leading 13-12, Bohl hit a layup off a feed from Askvig. Askvig then hit treys on the Marauders next two possessions to close out the opening stanza.
 
UMary went into halftime leading 39-21 after Macy Williams hit a trey with two seconds left before intermission.
 
After failing to hold late leads the previous two games in a pair of tough losses at the Central Region Challenge, the Marauders made sure that wouldn't be an issue against the Flames as UMary built its lead to as many as 33 points.
