The graduate student made 9-of-18 field goals and 5-10 3-pointers, while surpassing her previous career-best of seven boards

Kendall Keyes was the only other Devil in double-figures with 13 points, with Kerry Patterson adding nine points on 4-of-7 shooting and a career-high four assists.

Juliana Gura led all players by tying her career-best of six assists for the second game in a row.

Matching Anna McTamney with five rebounds to finish second on the team, Bria Johnson notably set a new season-high in just seven minutes.

Dayna Balasa added six points on 2-of-3 3-pointers off the bench, as the USciences bench doubled up on Nyack's 24-12.

University of the Sciences' 48.1 percent shooting as a team was its second-best performance of the season. The Devils had a season-high 23 assists.  

Nyack led throughout the entirety of the first quarter with the exception of one tie, and the Warriors went up by as many as seven, 18-11, with 37 seconds left in the period before two Huber free throws made the score 18-13 entering the second.

University of the Sciences then scored the first eight points of the second, five of which were by Patterson, en route to taking the lead for good.

The Warriors got as close as five, 32-37, 3:32 into the second half, but McTamney answered with a layup before back-to-back Keyes 3-pointers put USciences ahead by double-digits for good with 4:05 left in the third quarter.
