FDU climbed its way back into the game in the second half as the Devils (1-2) closed to within 36-29 on a jumper by sophomore guard Emily Cerankowski (Easton, Pa.) with 18:14 remaining.  The Ducks responded with a quick 8-0 burst in the span of 1:04 to reestablish a 15-point cushion.  Following back-to-back three-pointers by junior guard Jean Matusiak (Queens, N.Y.) and Fuller, Enright scored inside to give Stevens a 44-29 lead.

Matusiak finished with 13 points on six of 12 shooting from the floor.  She also had four assists and three steals.  Sophomore guard Dani Dudek (Rockaway, N.J.) contributed 11 assists, seven rebounds, five points and three steals in the game.

Senior guard Jessie Chalmers (Middletown, N.J.) led the way for FDU with 15 points and four rebounds.  Freshman forward Danielle Michlovsky (Wind Gap, Pa.) and Cerankowski had nine points and six rebounds apiece.

Stevens forced 21 turnovers and held the Devils to 31.3 percent shooting (15-for-48) from the field.  The Ducks converted 42.2 percent (27-for-64) of their field-goal attempts.
