How It Happened

• Senior Kaylan Logan Bouknight helped spark the run, knocking down a three-pointer while drawing a foul to complete a four-point play.
• Mary Baldwin carried a 38-35 lead into halftime.
• The Fighting Squirrels opened the fourth quarter with a six-point advantage, but Regent continued to battle. A layup by Krisyln Johnson tied the game with 7:20 remaining.
• With 1:58 left on the clock and Mary Baldwin trailing by four, Logan Bouknight connected on her fourth three-pointer of the game to cut the deficit to one.

• The Fighting Squirrels held on down the stretch to secure the 63-60 victory and their first win of the season.
