Sweeney led the Lady Hawks with 14 points against American this past Saturday at home. Additionally, she ripped away two steals for a team-high and tied for a team-high seven rebounds. Sweeney finished the game 4-for-11 but went 2-of-5 from beyond the arc. Starting every game thus far for UMES, she is currently third with 8.7 points per game with 4.5 rebounds per game.

The men's team resumes tonight versus St. Bonaventure in New York, while the Lady Hawks host UMBC today before playing a second home game against Monmouth on December 30^th.
