Sparked by a career-high 16 points from Terrence Moore, the Golden Rams easily took care of the host Mountaineers to notch WCU’s overall record to 18-4 on the year (14-4 in PSAC). It was the thirdstraight that the Golden Rams have scored at least 95.

The road victory keeps WCU in second place in the PSAC Eastern Division and keeps the Rams hopes for a first-round bye alive, while the 44-point win pushes WCU’s winning streak over Mansfield to 16 games in a row.

Powered by five players in double figures, the visiting Golden Rams cruised to the win over the Mountaineers to push it’s record to 18-4 overall (15-3 in PSAC). It marks the 22ndstraight for West Chester over Mansfield overall and extends the Golden Rams’ current win streak to 13 games – the longest for a WCU women’s basketball team since the 1971-72 squad strung together 16 in a row under Head Coach Carol Eckman.

The host team started up 5-0 and eventually pushed the advantage to nine points (15-4) with 6:21 to play in the first quarter. Trailing 16-10, the Golden Rams ended the first by outscoring Mansfield 13-0 to take a 23-16 advantage into the second frame.
