BALTIMORE, MD – The Notre Dame of Maryland basketball team held Keystone (6-5, 4-2 CSAC) scoreless for much of the second quarter in route to a 77-56 blowout win on Thursday evening. Alexis Durham was 7-of-14 from three for 27 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds. Her seven triples tied Stephanie Roche (2016), Debbi Pearson (1992), and Gloria Broady who did it twice in 2007. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Gators started the game 3-of-4 up 6-4 early with Durham finding her open teammates. The freshman guard scored seven straight points for the Gators along with the first of many would-be triples.
