ARLINGTON -- A strong third-quarter effort pushed Marymount women's basketball to an impressive 56-48 non-conference win over Randolph-Macon on Wednesday night. 

NOTABLE

• Claire Smith led the way with 15 points on 7-of-9 from the field. 
• Kyla Treadwell scored 13 points, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. 
• Chandler Eddleton grabbed 13 boards and a steal. 
• Marymount held a 24-18 advantage in points in the paint. 
• The Saints outscored Randolph-Macon 24-11 in the third quarter. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Both sides traded buckets in the first quarter with RMC closing the frame with a 14-11 advantage thanks to a late layup.
• It was more of the same in the second quarter but Marymount scored on an Eddleton bucket with three seconds left to take a 21-19 lead into halftime. 
• Back-to-back 3-pointers from Treadwell and Ella Morrison gave Marymount an eight-point cushion early in the third quarter. 
• A layup from Smith with 1:43 left in the period gave the Saints their largest lead up to that point (14) before closing with a 45-32 lead. 
• Randolph-Macon couldn't mount a comeback and Marymount held on for the 56-48 win.

UP NEXT

• Marymount will remain at home to take on Salisbury on Saturday at 1 PM. It will mark the return of former Saints assistant Aprile Preller, who took the Salisbury head coaching gig last summer. 
• Marymount Athletics will recognize the success of the Atlantic East champion Marymount women's volleyball team at halftime.
