Three Pioneers Score Double Digits in Loss to Maryville

Three Wesleyan College basketball players scored in double figures in a 97-55 loss to Maryville College in the Pioneers last home game of the season on Wednesday night.  Bre Solmone led all scorers with 16 points on 4-5 shooting from the 3-point line.  Erinn Williams pitched in 12 points to go along with Ciara Walker's 14 point, 9 rebound performance.

Maryville jumped out to a 20-7 lead in the first five minutes of the game and their stifling defense forced the Pioneers into 18 turnovers in the first half while holding them to only 22 points.  However, in the second half, the Pioneers found a bit of an offensive rhythm with Solmone hitting four three-point baskets and Williams scoring all of her points for the game.

Maryville was paced by Tara Heyboer's 15 points while all Scots that saw action scored points.

The Pioneers wrap up their season on Tuesday, Feb. 15, when they travel to Piedmont College.
