Patchogue, NY - The University of Mount Saint Vincent knocked off one of the conference's best teams for the second and final time this season.
The Dolphins were back on the road less than 48 hours after their last contest, this time taking on St. Joseph's University Long Island out in Patchogue. UMSV followed their home victory against the Golden Eagles with another one, this time by the score of 63-57. The victory put the Dolphins at 6-5 against the Skyline, good for the sixth spot in the postseason if it were to begin tomorrow.

Maria Nardulli saw one of her first year talents turn into the driving force behind the team's offensive success.
Grace Kennedy, who also starts on UMSV's women's soccer team, posted a career-high 22 points on Saturday afternoon, leading all scorers in the game. The East Fishkill, New York native went nine-of-16 from the floor, including a 12-point barrage in the fourth quarter that gave her team the lead for good.

JaKaia Lotz once again led the way with 13 rebounds. Junior
