Martin converted an in-bound pass with 1.4 seconds remaining and drained her sixth trey of the night to tie the single-game McGill record for three-pointers. The 21-year-old sociology sophomore, made nine of 17 shots from the field, including a 6-for-11 performance from three-point range. She was also credited with four steals and three rebounds.
