NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Visiting Framingham State placed four players in double figures and Mary Kate O'Day collected a game-best 18 points to lead the Rams to a 62-52 win over MCLA this afternoon in the regular season finale for both teams.
 
The Rams (15-9, 9-3 MASCAC) have earned the second seed in next week's MASCAC championship and will have a bye until the semifinal round. MCLA ends its season at 6-18 and was 2-10 in the conference.

Hoosac Valley grad Robinson broke the single season assist record late in the contest when her pass on a Langston bucket in the fourth quarter gave her 114 on the season breaking the mark of Alie Dobrovolc in 2013.
