STEVENSON, Md. - A total of 12 players scored at least one point for the Stevenson University women's basketball team on Wednesday night as the Mustangs used one of its best performances of the season in handing Hood a 59-29 loss in a CAC contest at Student Union Gymnasium.

Senior guard Tara Galvin (Lititz, Pa./Manheim Township) continued her recent hot streak, totaling a game-high 17 points with five three-pointers. She has scored in double figures in each of the team's last six games, totaling 88 points for an average of 14.7 per game.
