ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The three pointers were flying for the William Jewell women's basketball team on Saturday as they hit 12-of-29, the most this season, but came up short at Maryville, 70-57. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Cardinal offense came to life in the second period, outscoring Maryville 18-10. Libby Arnold scored seven in the quarter to lead the way as Jewell went on a 15-6 run to pull within one at the half, 31-30. 
• The Saints scored the first seven points of the second half to go back on top by eight but Jewell hung around, finishing the period on a 5-2 spurt after a three from Arnold to trail by just five heading into the final frame. 
• Maryville outscored the Cardinals 22-14 over the last 10 minutes, including a late 12-4 run to put the game out of reach.
