Auburn, ME - With limited players due to sickness, the Mustangs has to scramble their line-ups and trust their overall depth against the Lynx. All available players stepped up for as long as they could, to lead from start to finish, in a 97-23 demolishing of YSCC foe, NHTI. The Mustangs played without USCAA All-American, Emily Strachan and received reduced minutes from other key players including Mikenzie Melendez, Rayna Duzant, and Cyla Moore.

Despite the drastic change to their line-up, the Mustangs played their most consistent game of the season. Destiny Mora Lopez (The Dalles, OR) led all scoreres with 20 points on 10-14 shooting. Luna Love (Zwolle, Netherlands), played one of her best games in a Mustang uniform. She connected on 5 three pointers for 15 points, pulled down 7 rebounds, dished out 5 assists and only committed 1 turnover. Cyla Moore (W. Palm Beach, FL) was the third and final Mustang to hit for double-figures with 10 points. From there the scoring and other stats were spread out with 13 players playing at least 10 minutes. 

Elizabeth Barrientos (Manchester, NH) recorded 8 points and 5 assists, while Victoria Sjogreen (Stockholm, Sweden) scored a career-high 8 points. Kali Thompson (Waterville, ME) recorded a team-high 8 rebounds.

Jessica Allen led the Lynx with 13 points on 4 of 19 shooting while Bess Deacon pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds. 

With the win the Mustangs improve to 12-0 overall ad 5-0 in the Yankee Conference. They will be back in action on Saturday when they host the Knights of Berkeley College (NY) in a USCAA match-up.
