Freshman Amber Waters led the squad with 22 points and 16 rebounds. Kirstin Schlumbohm added nine points and Perk finished with eight.

“I’m proud of Amber,” Hodge said. “She played a phenomenal game, I couldn’t tell she was a freshman. Her and Olivia worked well together inside and that opened things up for our guards. Kirstin did a nice job attacking the basket tonight. She was more aggressive offensively, which we need.”

Lauryn Sanford returned for the first time since suffering an ankle injury against Lehman last week and scored five points, had four rebounds and three assists. The Pirates shot 20 for 53 (37.7 percent) from the field and outrebounded the Commodores 38-18.
