The Tigers were led by a game- and season-high 17 points from senior Skylar Nelson, junior Zoey Lord pitched in with 16 points and senior Cassie Sanborn contributed with 9 points.

Stevens freshman Bailey Morin, who happens to be the granddaughter of Newport Head Coach Ross Dole, poured in 14 points, including two big threes to lead the Cardinals late comeback. Stevens overcame an early 32-16 deficit in the second quarter to make a game of it late in the fourth quarter with a furious comeback.

With the win, Newport improves to 11-3, while Stevens falls to 4-9.
