Four Score in Double Digits for Women's Hoops

AUSTIN, Texas – The St. Mary's Women's Basketball team saw four athletes score in double figures, but it wasn't enough in the first of two-straight meetings against St. Edward's as they fell 74-61 on Tuesday night.
 
Junior Jaedyn Dunn (Houston) tied her career high with 14 points, hitting three of the team's four triples on the night. Fellow guard Ariah Powell (Detroit, Mich.) scored 12, freshman Gabby Elliott (San Antonio) added 11 and junior Teanna Huggins (San Antonio) chipped in 10 points.
 
Elliott led the team with seven rebounds, while Powell led the club with three assists and senior Natalia Ryng (Gdynia, Poland) and Dunn each had four steals as the Rattlers amassed 15 on the night.
 
Powell and Dunn combined for 15 points in the second quarter as the Rattlers attempted the comeback. The team outscored the Hilltoppers 25-17 after scoring only three points in the first period to pull within 10, 38-28.
 
The Rattlers cut the deficit to eight in the second half, but could get no closer. St. Edward's was led by Lauren Catherman with 15 points, while Morgan Gary had a game-high 11 rebounds.
