The St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s basketball team (6-4) hosted Stevenson University (4-4) in a non-conference matchup, where a late rally by the Seahawks fell short, resulting in a 63-54 loss.
A Competitive Start
Both teams played a balanced and fast-paced first quarter, exchanging baskets in a close contest. St. Mary’s leaned on standout Tramarie Mobray, who contributed six points, while Keira Mason added four. Despite their efforts, Stevenson closed the quarter with a two-point edge, leading 16-14.
Stevenson Pulls Away Before Halftime
The Mustangs took control in the second quarter, outscoring the Seahawks 20-10. Strong offensive execution by Stevenson gave them a double-digit lead heading into the half. St. Mary’s struggled to keep pace, with Mobray again leading the way by scoring four of her team’s 10 points in the period. At the break, Stevenson held a commanding 36-24 advantage.
Defensive Third Quarter
The game turned into a defensive battle in the third quarter, with both teams struggling to score. St. Mary’s could only muster seven points in the frame, all from Mobray, as Stevenson stretched its lead to 51-31. The Seahawks’ offense sputtered, failing to capitalize on opportunities and allowing the Mustangs to maintain their momentum.
Late Rally Comes Up Short
Facing a 17-point deficit with under three minutes to play, St. Mary’s found its offensive rhythm, led by Mobray and Mason. The Seahawks attacked the basket, scoring through layups and converting free throws to chip away at the Mustangs’ lead. They narrowed the gap to six points with under a minute left but could not complete the comeback. Stevenson held on to secure the win.
