PATRIOT TRIVIA​

Tomorrow night, the Mason women’s hoops team heads to State College to take on Penn State in the WBIT.
This is the fourth matchup between these two programs all-time and first since 2019.
That matchup in 2019 had the Patriots come away with a 78-68 victory in State College. Who was the leading scorer for Mason that night?

TRIVIA ANSWER​

Answer: Nicole Cardaño-Hillary.
The junior guard poured in 41 points back in 2019 to lead Mason to its first Power 5 victory since 2014.
