Marymount 64, Salisbury State 59
SALISBURY, Md. — Junior guard Candice Brown scored a game-high 23 points and three others added 10 points each to lead Marymount to a 64-59 win over Salisbury State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Marymount (23-6) advances to next week's sectionals to Messiah in the Sweet 16. Salisbury, which set a school record for victories, completes its season with a 24-4 record.

Trailing 28-24 at halftime, the Saints opened the second half with a 15-9 spurt to take the lead for good on a pair of Brown free throws with 12:10 remaining. Marymount extended its lead to as much as seven points twice, the last at 54-47 with 4:47 left. A 6-0 run by Salisbury, capped by a Jaime Kohlenstein layup, pulled the Sea Gulls to within 56-55 at 2:40. Marymount converted six of 12 free throws in the final two minutes to maintain the lead and even the season series between the teams at 2-2.

As members of the Capital Athletic Conference, Salisbury and Marymount were meeting for the fourth time this season. The teams split a pair of regular season encounters. Marymount's victory avenged a 70-67 loss to the Sea Gulls in the CAC championship game played last week.

Rachel Taylor, Katie Jarvis and Jodie Knotts finished with 10 points apiece for Marymount. Knotts and Brown also grabbed 11 rebounds each for the Saints, which finished with a significant 55-35 edge in total rebounds.

Senior Lisa Neylan, Salisbury's all-time leading scorer, finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Sea Gulls. She capped her career with 1,540 points. Kohlenstein also finished with 16 points for the Gulls.
