Lady Mariners lose to Green Mountain 54-50
The Green Mountain College women's basketball team turned a one-point halftime advantage into a (54-50) victory over the visiting Mariners from Maine Maritime Friday night. With the victory, the Eagles improve to (5-8) in conference play and move into a tie for fourth place with one game remaining.

The Mariners were led by sophomore Tatum Welch (Newport, ME) who collected a team-high 18 points and 14 rebounds. Freshman Samantha Goda (Eliot, ME) added 16 points in the losing effort.
