Box Score Quincy-Maryville Boxscore

Maryville was looking to build a five-game Great Lakes Valley Conference winning streak for the first time since joining the league but instead Quincy handed the Saints their first home loss of the season in a 66-42 victory Saturday afternoon.
 
After Quincy scored on the first possession of the game, JoAnn Thompson sank a jumper and Kate Childs scored to put the Saints on top. The Hawks tied the game at 6-6 until Rita Flynn drained a 3-pointer from just to the right of the top of the key for a 9-6 Maryville lead. Quincy scored eight straight to take a lead it would not give up the rest of the day. Erica Lorton’s hoop cut the Saints’ deficit to 14-11 eight minutes into the game. The Hawks tied to pull away, but Shelby Miller converted from beyond the arc. With 5:05 left in the first half, Alissa Oney sank two from the free-throw line to keep Maryville within 21-18. The Hawks outscored the Saints 11-4 the rest of the half to take a 32-22 lead at the break.
 
The teams traded hoops in the early going of the second half, and Childs’ jumper drew MU to 36-26 at the 17:15 mark. Quincy extended its lead to 43-28 before a jumper by Duethman and two free throws by Childs cut the advantage to 43-32. After a QU hoop, Oney scored on inside the lane to make it 45-34 with 11:03 to play. However, the Saints were unable to get the deficit to single-digits, and Quincy slowly edged away to for its fourth straight win.
 
Childs led Maryville with 11 points, while Duethman finished with seven points and eight rebounds. Ali Schwagmeyer, who is this week’s GLVC Player of the Week, tallied 19 points and seven rebounds to pace Quincy (13-6, 8-3).
 
After winning its first eight home games at Moloney Arena, the Saints slip to 10-9, 6-5 in the GLVC.
