There would be three more lead changes, before the Thoroughbreds closed out the game with a 16-4 run over the final 4:56 of regulation for the 67-53 win.
 
"The team played hard for 40 minutes and we got strong contributions from different players," said Skidmore coach Darren Bennett.  "Marietta is one of the deepest teams I've seen with a lot of good, tough players coming in and out of the game.  Their point guard play is great, they've got kids that can score off the bounce and their inside players are have strong games.  It was a good test for our kids and they stepped up and got it done.
 
"Angela had the kind of game that we expect from her every night and made things easier for her teammates on the perimeter.  We have to continue feeding her the ball and she has to continue to produce with paint scores, by playing inside out basketball and by getting to the free throw line. Lindsey shot the ball well from the perimeter and Ella had a breakout game and played with as much confidence as I've seen her play with in her three years with us.  
 
"Although Marietta beat us on the boards and had great depth, I think our kids matched them in both points and that was the difference tonight.  We had a complete team effort from our starters, to our non-starters.  It's great to see the team playing strong, tough and very much together going into conference play this weekend."
