Castine, Maine --- The Maine Maritime Women's Basketball team got past Green Mountain 49-30 in a North Atlantic Conference game Saturday at Margaret Smith Chase Gymnasium. With the victory, MMA improves to 11-3 in the NAC and captured the #2 seed in the upcoming playoffs next Friday.

The Lady Mariners struggled from the field shooting only 31% and shot a dismal 43% from the free throw line but managed to come away with the win thanks in large part to a great defensive effort.

MMA improves to 16-9 overall and finishes the regular season at 11-3 in the NAC while the Eagles slip to 7-17 overall and 2-12 in the NAC.
