BALTIMORE, Md.- Eastern University Women's Basketball made 10-of-22 3-pointers, but it was not enough as the University of Maryland at Baltimore County Retrievers (3-3) secured 24 offensive rebounds and earned a 78-40 win. Katlyn Dougherty led the Eagles with 12 points.

The Retrievers opened up a 40-23 lead at half. Eastern made six 3-pointers but were unable to establish an inside presence against their Division I opponents. The Eagles were just 2-for-15 from inside the arc, and Yazlane Villegas attempted the only two free throws of the half.

Maghan Nowak had all eight of her points before intermission. Brittany Crowell led the retrievers with 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting. 

The Eagles briefly cut the deficit to 13 on back-to-back three pointers from Gina DiDomenico and Kaleigh Boreman, but UMBC pulled away with a 19-0 run over the next eight plus minutes to secure the game.

The Eagles (1-3) start Freedom Conference play with an important home test against Manhattanville college on Wednesday night. That game is the first of four Toys for Tots events. Fans who bring a new unwrapped toy for donation will be admitted free of charge.
