FORT KENT, Maine - Redshirt freshman guard
Raeann Stilwell (Cheektowaga, N.Y./St. Mary's of Lancaster) continued her hot shooting to help the Daemen College women's basketball team to another victory in their two-game stop in the North Country as they trounced the University of Maine-Fort Kent 93-49 at the UMFK Sports Center this afternoon.
Stilwell canned 5-of-6 shots from three-point range en route to a game-high 17 points in just 21 minutes of action. This comes just one day after the sharp-shooting Stilwell banged home five threes and a career-high 25 points in Daemen's 98-49 rout of the University of Maine-Presque Isle.
Daemen shot a blistering 75-percent from the field in the first half, connecting on 24-of-32 field goal attempts. That performance included a 7-of-10 showing from three-point range while the host Lady Bengals were limited to 21-percent shooting (6-for-29) in the opening stanza, allowing the Wildcats to establish a 57-16 lead at the half.

It was Stoddard's first double figure scoring game since a string of six straight from late November through mid-December and her second double-double of the season.
Brooke Harris (Lee, Maine/University of Maine) paced the hosts with 12 points whlie Kayla Richards (Presque Isle, Maine/Presque Isle) and Zsakiyah Brown (Uniondale, N.Y./Concordia College) split 20 points between them.
19 Lady Bengal turnovers were converted into 29 points for the Wildcats who held a commanding 53-21 rebounding edge as well. Daemen subs accounted for 37 points in the ballgame, led by Stilwell.
The Wildcats, ranked atop the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) poll for seven consecutive weeks, improved to 18-6 with the win and have now won seven of their last nine. UMFK, the #12 ranked USCAA team, fell to 10-9 with the loss.
