WASHINGTON, D.C. (1/23/07)—The Bison opened strong, going shot-for-shot with Marymount, keeping the score close for the better part of the first half before Marymount went on top for good off a layup by Kathleen Brown.  Gallaudet worked hard against Marymount's full-court press, weaving through passing lanes before committing costly turnovers that Marymount converted into baskets.  The Bison committed a game-high 30 turnovers in contrast to Marymount's 14.
            The Buff and Blue did not convert any of their four three-point attempts while Marymount stretched its lead off its five treys.  Both teams stayed in the game with free throws, Gallaudet shot 66% (12-18) the majority coming from senior guard Tamijo Foronda (7-11) and her team-high 17 points.  However, Marymount prevailed from the line, going 14-for-20 and a 70% rating.
            During the second half, Brittainy Payne posted 11 of her 16 points against the 6'1/6'0 Marymount inside players.  On the other side of the ball, Marymount's Terell White pushed the offense with 9 out of her 13 points.  Senior guard Katie Armentrout topped Marymount's charts with a game-high 18 points and 5 steals.  Marymount barely edged Gallaudet in the steals category, picking off 19 passes to the Buff and Blue's 17. 
            The Bison (2-13, 0-7 CAC) play host in a break from CAC play Thursday, January 25th when Hood College (1-13, 1-3 AWCC) visits.  The ball goes up at 6:00 p.m.
