The Eagles improve to 14-0 in conference play, and move one step closer to an undefeated regular season at 23-0.

The Eagles led throughout, jumping out to a 7-0 lead on a three-point play from Wimmer and four points from Dye. UMW kept the lead between three and seven points throughout the half, with York cutting the deficit to two before a Dye jumper in the final minute gave UMW a 25-21 halftime advantage.

A Dye layup with 6:08 left gave the Eagles a double-digit lead to 11, at 47-36. A pair of Katie Wimmer free throws with 28 seconds left upped the margin to 10, and UMW held on for the six-point victory.
