ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - Stevenson women's basketball sophomore Sara Tarbert and senior Kyarra Harmon combined for 41 points, 18 rebounds and six assists as the Mustangs jumped out to a seven-point lead and never trailed en route to their sixth-straight win, 67-51 over St. Mary's (Md.) in a non-conference contest Tuesday night at O'Brien ARC Arena.

Stevenson (8-2) is off to the second-best start in school history, trailing only the 2005-06 team that started the season 10-2 en route to a school-record 20 wins. That year, the Mustangs also won a school record eight consecutive games from December 3 to January 10.

Tarbert tied a season-high with 25 points, going 12 for-18 from the floor. She totaled her eighth double double of the season with 12 rebounds while adding eight steals and four assists.

Harmon finished with 16 points and six rebounds and is averaging 14.0 points and 5.0 rebounds over her last four games. Her 16 points were just two shy of her season-high set versus Widener and Oneonta State.

The Mustangs jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the game's first 1:36 on a three-pointer by senior Kayleigh Guzek and lay-ups from both Tarbert and Harmon.

The Seahawks (0-8) would rally to within two on two separate occasions, the last coming at 15-13 with 10:31 remaining in the first half. However, that would be as close as they would get as Stevenson answered with a 13-0 run, holding St. Mary's scoreless for 5:11 before a three-pointer by Olivia Nowlin stopped the drought at 5:20.

The Mustangs totaled 17 steals and totaled 30 points off turnovers while scoring 40 of its 67 points in the paint.

Guzek got her third start of the season and finished with 11 points, including nine on three three-pointers. She is averaging 12.0 points per game as a starter and in 10 games this season, is averaging a career-high 10.0 points per game, four more than her previous high of 6.0 as a freshman.

Nowlin led the Seahawks with 13 points while Kerri Kline added 12. The trio of Nowlin, Kline and Matti Vagnoni accounted for 35 of the team's 51 points. Vagnoni also had 10 rebounds.
