St. Thomas 69, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 59
ST. PAUL — St. Thomas withstood 12 three-point baskets by visiting Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and posted a 69-59 victory in their NCAA Tournament first-round game in Schoenecker Arena.

The No. 10 Toms, who improved to 20-2 all-time in home NCAA games, play Saturday at George Fox (23-2), which had a first-round bye.

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, which finished the season 19-7, shot 12-for-28 from
three-point range — one off the Division III tournament record of 13.

Meanwhile, the Toms (24-3) were 0-for-8 in three-pointers, but sank 16 of 19 at the foul line in the second half. They also used their height advantage for a 51-26 rebounding advantage.

CMS senior Aubrey Edgmon made seven three-pointers (7-for-16), one off the NCAA tournament record of eight, en route to a 27-point, 10-rebound performance. The Athenas' Rebekah Chee had nine first-half points but missed the game's last 10 minutes with a knee injury.

Senior Felicia Davis had 16 points for CMS, which went 5-for-7 at the foul line to the Toms' 21-for-29. Davis finished as CMS' No. 3 all-time scorer with 1,602 points.

UST junior Alissa Case had a career-high 16 rebounds and scored 13 of her 15 points in the second half. Jennifer Ulstad added 14 points and Anne Newell added 11 rebounds for the Toms, who led 31-27 at halftime and never trailed in the final half. The Toms couldn't shake the Athenas, though, and got their first double-digit lead in the closing 20 seconds.
