NEWBURGH, N.Y. (Jan. 5, 2023) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy women's basketball team saw its seven-game win-streak come to an end, as the Mariners suffered a 78-51 road loss at Mount St. Mary on Thursday night. The setback drops USMMA's record to 10-2 (6-2 Skyline), while the Knights improve to 8-3 (5-1 Skyline) with the victory.
