BALTIMORE -- Jordon Lewis scored a team-high 19 points to lead a school record six Retrievers in double-figures as the UMBC Women's Basketball team defeated visiting Morgan State, 81-72, on Sunday afternoon at The Peake.

Talia Davis (14), Carmen Yánez (14) , Jaliena Sanchez (12), Jaden Walker (12) and Tiara Bellamy (10) joined Lewis in double-figures.
