The Mount hit five triples during the stretch. 

A pair of Lucia Serrano-Ranz hit two free throws to get the Knights back in front, 46-45, with 37 seconds left in the quarter. That capped a 5-0 spurt by Fairleigh Dickinson. 

That would be the last lead of the day for the Knights. The Mount would lead by as many as four over the final stanza. The two teams combined for 17 points in the fourth quarter.

The Mountaineers and Knights both made 19 field goals, but Mount St. Mary's hit eight 3-pointers to the Knights two. 

Head coach Pete Cinella said after the game, "good effort by Mount. They came in here and defended very well. We did not do a good enough job of finding the open man and rebounding the basketball," 

Fairleigh Dickinson returns to action on Monday night against Wagner. The game will start at 8 p.m. and aired on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app.
