Sophomore captain Amanda Brett (Portland, Maine) scored a season-best 34 points converting 50 percent from the floor. The power forward dominated the paint on both ends of the floor pulling down 13 boards and adding a block. Her trusty counterpart and sophomore captain Abigail Ramirez (Portland, Maine) recorded a double-double the unconventional way—11 points and a season-high 13 assists.
