PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Husson University women's basketball graduate student Bailey Donovan broke a 45-year-old single-game rebound record in its 74-58 road victory over the University of Maine-Presque Isle on Tuesday.
 
Husson (14-9, 9-3 NAC) jumped on UMPI (10-10, 5-6 NAC) from the start, dropping 13 points in the first quarter and 21 in the second to control a 34-21 advantage at the halftime break. 
 
The Eagles added 40 second-half points to come way with the 74-58 decision as Donovan poured in a game-high 32 on 11-19 from the floor and 10-11 from the free throw line. 
 
Junior's Hannah Richards and Lauren Cook added eight and nine points, respectively, while Richards added four boards and a team-high four assists.
