OMAHA, Neb. – The Maverick women’s basketball team got points from all 13 players in the lineup to earn a 79-51 win over Dana College on Wednesday night at Sapp Fieldhouse. The Mavericks pick up their first win of the season to improve to 1-1.

The Mavericks continued to get contributions from everyone in the second half. Senior Cayla Hargrove had all eight of her points in the second half including a pair of threes while fellow senior Amanda Brodsack had 6 more points to finish with 11, second best among Maverick scorers. Green finished with a game-high and career-best 14 rebounds.

Junior and Omaha native Kalen Carlson led the Vikings with 12 points while senior Chelsey Zimmerman had 11.
