BALTIMORE – Isabella Therien recorded her fourth-career double-double on her Senior Day, totaling 16 points and 10 rebounds overall, but a strong fourth quarter lifted American to a 62-52 victory over Loyola University Maryland at Reitz Arena on Sunday.

Therien and Delaney Connolly were each honored in a pregame ceremony, with their families joining via Zoom. Connolly added five points and a pair of steals in the setback while making her 64th career start.
 

Jade Edwards led the Eagles (5-3 PL, 5-1 South) with 25 points and 10 boards, while Taylor Brown (16 points) and Emily Fisher (12) also reached double figures. American outscored Loyola (0-10, 0-6) by a 22-11 margin in the fourth quarter to secure a season sweep.

The Greyhounds were up 14-12 after 10 minutes, with Therien supplying five points and seven rebounds in the opening quarter alone. American started the second on a 9-0 run, but a trio of 3-pointers by Bri Rozzi kept Loyola within 30-26 heading into the intermission.

Loyola outscored the Eagles by a 15-10 margin in the third to take a 41-40 lead into the final 10 minutes. The Greyhounds had their final lead at 45-44 with 6:57 left, but back-to-back 3-pointers from Edwards and Karla Vres gave American an advantage it would not relinquish.

Rozzi's nine points were a new season high, while her three 3-pointers matched a career-best. Taleah Dixon also tied a season and career-best with five assists in the defeat.

Therien's double-double was her first since she totaled 27 points and 12 boards at Colgate on Jan. 26, 2019.

The Greyhounds conclude the regular season with a pair of matchups against Navy next weekend. Loyola travels to Annapolis on Saturday and hosts the Mids at 5 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
