EMMITSBURG, Md. (November 11, 2025) – Looking to get into the win column for the first time in 2025-26, Mount St. Mary's women's basketball challenges Buckell Wednesday evening in a road contest.
THE LAST TIME OUT

- As a unit the team forced 24 Panthers turnovers, turning those takeaways into 21 points.
- Despite the loss, it was the program's best effort against a Power 4 opponent since a 14-point defeat by the 2013-14 team at Boston College.

- Giana Hoddinott matched her career best for assists with six dimes, and Powell set a new career high in steals with three swipes.

- Against the Nittany Lions and Cavaliers, Bucknell averaged 45 points per game while conceding an average over 80.

THE ALL-TIME SERIES
