GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Down by as many as nine points in the first half and seven at halftime, the nationally ranked Mount Union women's basketball team outscored Grove City, 41-12 in the second half en route to a 65-43 non-conference win Monday in Grove City, Pa.

Senior guard Katie Crider (Brunswick/Brunswick) came off the bench and hit four three-pointers, three in the second half, as part of a team-best 13-point effort.
