HELENA, Mont. -- Four Fighting Saints reached double figures as No. 20-ranked Carroll College defeated Dickinson State 92-57 on Friday in the PE Center.

The first half we were playing a little fast and we were a little sloppy," Saints coach Rachelle Sayers said. "We kept it simple in the second half and we stayed in one thing until we could get a feel for it and get comfortable with it." 

It was the Saints (3-0) home opener, though it played differently than other home openers in the past. The Saints played without fans to help combat COVID-19 in the Helena community. 

"Once we got going, I don't think the kids really realized there were no fans," Sayers said. "They generated a lot of energy. This is just our new norm. We're going to continue to do everything we can to keep playing." 

Redshirt sophomore Maddie Geritz led the Saints with 17 points, shooting 5-for-9 from the field, including 7-for-10 from the free throw line. 

Joining her in double figures were Danielle Wagner with 15, Christine Denny with 13 and Sienna Swannack with 12 points. Twelve different Saints scored on Friday night. 

"I challenged them to give me the best three or four minutes in spurts so we could get other kids in there," Sayers said. "They set the tone. They played really hard. When they got tired, the next group went in. I was real pleased with the contributions and the energy."

Carroll shot 55% from the field and the three-point line, while holding the Blue Hawks to a 37% percent mark from the field, and a 30% clip from deep. 

Up next, the Saints are scheduled to host the Thanksgiving Classic next week in the PE Center.
