Box Score
MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – Megan Stewart and Alex Lennon each scored 14 points, and Allison Hostetter finished with a double-double (11 points, 15 rebounds), but host Millersville outlasted visiting West Chester, 70-65, in a PSAC women’s basketball quarterfinal round matchup inside Pucillo Gym Tuesday evening.
Millersville (22-5) advances to the conference semifinals to face Edinboro on Friday at Bloomsburg University. The Huskies defeated Kutztown, 80-66, in the other PSAC East semifinal Tuesday.
Stewart knocked down a 3-pointer with 4:17 left in the game to draw visiting West Chester into a tie with host Millersville, 60-60. However, the Marauders rang up the next nine points to move out to a comfortable lead.
Aurielle Mosley (18 points, 11 rebounds) converted a layup with four minutes left to give Millersville the lead for good. Domonique Stroman (12 points) hit a jumper in the lane and Gabrielle Styles (7 points) dropped in a baseline jumper at the 2:24 mark to give the Marauders a 66-60 advantage. All three Millersville baskets followed high percentage shots by West Chester that did not fall.
“I think Millersville hit some big time shots down the stretch,” West Chester head coach Deirdre Kane said. “We hung around. We didn’t go anywhere.
“I stayed with the zone because I didn’t want to see the ‘Mashira-dishes-to-Mosley’ show, if I went to a man-to-man.”
Millersville put four players in double figures. Mashira Newman finished with 15 points and Sophia Waters scored 11.
Lennon added seven rebounds and four blocked shots to her 14-point effort, offensively.
