EMMITSBURG, MD- Saint Francis out scored Mount Saint Mary's 24-12 in the fourth and got a career-high 21 points from Maya Wynn (Reisterstown, Md./McDonogh) in a 73-64 road win over the Mountaineers on Saturday. 

Wynn drained five three pointers en route to her game and career high and added nine rebounds. Jess Kovatch shook off foul trouble to finish with 18 pointsto go with a pair of rebounds and assists. The freshman picked up her fourth foul midway through the third, but it was her two jumpers at the start of the fourth that got the Flash rolling in the final frame.

"I want our players to learn to play with foul trouble," Coach Joe Haigh said. "We had several players with four, Bri (Ward), Jess (Kovatch), Samiah (Bethel), I put them out there at the start of the fourth, wanting to stay aggressive and not lose the game with them on the bench."

Mount Saint Mary's led for 28 of the game's 40 minutes. After an early Kovatch three, Mount Saint Mary's went on a 16-2 run that saw the Flash go without a field goal for nearly eight minutes and commit 10 first-quarter turnovers. The Mount led 18-7 after the first quarter.

"We were definitely out of sync in the first part of the game," Haigh said. "Credit Mount Saint Mary's, they forced the turnovers and got us out of rhythm offensively."

Saint Francis could not get within six for much of the second quarter. The Mountaineers answered ever Flash run with one of their own. They were led by Alexis Carter, who had 13 of her 17 in the first half. SFU would end the quarter with a furious rally, scoring nine unanswered in the final 57 seconds. Wynn hit a three and a three-point play and tradition three by Katie Reese (Boonton Township, N.J./Mountain Lakes) sandwiched a Mountaineer turnover. The run cut the Mountaineer lead to 34-32 at the half.

A Halee Adams (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Bishop Guilfoyle) three to start the third gave SFU their first lead since 3-0 at 35-34. The teams would trade the lead four times over the next three minutes before another Mount Saint Mary's run. A 7-0 spurt gave the Mountaineers a six-point lead, which they held until the quarter's final possession. Aisha Brock (Jacksonville, Fla./Potter's House Christian Academy) beat the buzzer with a deep three to cut the Mountaineer lead to 52-49 after three quarters.

The Red Flash would re-take the lead on the back of a pair of Kovatch jumpers and three points from Cydney Smith (Port Tobacco, Md./St. Mary's Ryken). SFU would take the lead for good when Wynn hit her fifth three of the contest just before the media timeout. The Flash would put the game away with a follow-up 8-2 run that stretched the lead out to nine. The Flash would withstand some late defensive pressure and close the game out with a pair of lay-ins.

The Flash turned 24 Mountaineer turnovers into 30 points and 19 offensive rebounds into 25 second-chance points. Carter's 17 and Kayla Bates' 17 led the Mountaineers, who fell to 4-9 in the NEC and 6-18 overall.

The win moves Saint Francis to 8-5 in the NEC and 10-14 overall. They will head to Staten Island on Monday for an afternoon tip at Wagner. Game time on President's Day is set for 4 p.m. from the Spiro Center.
