ARNOLD, MD – The Anne Arundel Community College women's basketball team defeated visiting Butler County Community College, 63-53, Sunday afternoon to snap a three-game losing streak.

Sophomore center Sarah Healy led the way with her eighth double-double of the season, scoring 23 points to go with 22 rebounds, as well as five blocks and a pair of steals. Sophomore Autumn Foster-Fields added 20 points and a career-high 19 rebounds to go with four assists. Sophomore Lacey Hinkle recorded her first career double-double with season highs of 15 points and 13 boards to go with six assists.
