Wesleyan Closes Out Fall Semester With Loss to Maryville

MACON, Ga. - Wesleyan College fell victim to a second half surge by Great South Athletic Conference power Maryville College in a 63-29 loss at Porter Gymnasium.

The Pioneers (0-4, 0-3 GSAC) kept the game within single digits for most of the first half. However, the Lady Scots (3-2, 1-0 GSAC) found their shooting touch in the second half to break open the game.

Senior captain Bre Solmone scored a team-high six points and added seven blocks for Wesleyan. Erinn Williams and La Joi Battle also each contributed six points. Maryville played 14 people with Tayler Smith hitting all five of her shots on the way to a game-best 11 points.

Wesleyan will take an extended break between semesters before returning to action on January 4 at GSAC foe Huntingdon College.
