Despite the push, Dean maintained control throughout, extending its lead to 47–27 at halftime and pulling away with a 34-point fourth quarter.
Sophomore Jade Hypolite (Houston, Texas) led the Mariners with 22 points, while fellow sophomore Jordyn Streitmatter (Brewster, Mass.) added 16 points and six assists. Senior Jamya Beddoe (New London, Conn.) chipped in 12 points and five rebounds, and senior Nanda Sanchez (Houston, Texas) contributed six points and five boards off the bench.
Dean was paced by Abigail Lacy's 28 points and Jordan Ellis' 18-point, 14-rebound double-double, as the Bulldogs shot 47.5 percent from the field and knocked down 13 three-pointers.
The Mariners (2–15, 0–8 GNAC) will continue conference play when they host Norwich University on Saturday, February 7, at 1:00 p.m.
