FROSTBURG, Md.- The Frostburg State Women's Basketball team took home their first win on the young 2021-22 season coming back to beat Davis and Elkins 65-55 and improve to 1-1 in conference play.

The Senators came out shooting in the first quarter taking an early lead hitting four straight threes on the offensive end with three of them coming from Dream Cherry. Those threes propelled Davis and Elkins to a 20-12 lead at the conclusion of the first.

The Threes didn't stop from Davis and Elkins but slowly regressed as the Bobcats pulled within 4 at the half making the score 29-33. 

In the third quarter the Bobcats started play extremely well on the defensive side of the ball with junior Ciara Thomas being assigned the task of guarding Dream Cherry and excelling holding her to under 30 percent shooting in the entire second half. Dombroski kept it going on the offensive side of things dishing out several key assists to keep the Bobcats within striking distance.
