ST. LOUIS, — Junior Allie Wilhelm recorded her first double-double of the season, but it was not enough to carry the Maryville University women’s basketball team to victory as they lost a 77-48 decision to Washington University-St. Louis. The Saints fall to 3-2 overall with the loss, which breaks a two-game winning streak.
Despite shooting only 25.8 percent from the field in the first half, Maryville was able to keep the game close and trailed by only single digits for a majority of the half. The Saints were as close as three points with 10:31 remaining before halftime, but the Bears went on a 7-0 run in a two-minute time period to quickly increase their lead to 10 points. The two teams went back and forth and Maryville was within six points of the lead with 2:33 left in the half, but Shanna-Lei Dacanay sparked another run by the Bears with a three-point shot at 2:16, as they finished out the half with a 14-point advantage.
Maryville got within 11 points six minutes into the second half, but the Saints could not break through the double digit deficit, as Washington U. continued to build their lead.
