Red-shirt senior Kymesha Alston (Hampton, Va./Manhattan) paced the Highlanders with a 16-point, 12-rebound double-double. Junior Kaylyn Crosier (South Charleston, W.Va./South Charleston) tallied a career-high 11 points and three steals in her first collegiate start.

After two games, Sandra Andresson (12.5 ppg, 5.5 rpg) and Hassanah Oliver (10.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg)are pacing the Mount in scoring and rebounding. Oliver also leads MSM dishing out a team-best 10 assists after two contests.
