THE PREVIOUS MEETING The Colonials’ free throw shooting made up for a lackluster performance from beyond the arc (2-of-14) as it converted 12-of-15 attempts at the chalk to lock up a 50-44 victory at Mount St. Mary’s on Jan. 28. RMU owned a 40-32 advantage on the glass, thanks to an 11-4 edge in the opening stanza. Anna Niki Stamolamprou led all scorers with 15 points, while Rebeca Navarro did a little bit of everything as she tallied nine points, four assists, four steals, and three rebounds.
