This week's win for the St Joseph's Golden Eagles women's basketball team secured the best start in women's basketball program history.

The Golden Eagles remained unbeaten after a down to the wire win over St. Mary's College, 66-63.

The Golden Eagles had four players score double-digit points, with senior Isabella Sierra and junior Megan Spina each scoring 13 points and grabbing four rebounds while Rebecca Vitale added 12 points with two steals.

Charlotte Twohig led the game with nine rebounds while putting in 10 points of her own. But, her biggest basket came in crunch time as she hit a three pointer to put the Golden Eagles up 60-58 with 2:38 remaining. No one was more clutch than Sierra who drove to the basket for a key layup with just 17 seconds remaining to give the Golden Eagles a 66-63 lead and the win.
