How It Happened

• Demers gave the Scots a quick 3-0 lead after sinking a jumper form three point land in the opening seconds of the game.
• The Scots took their biggest lead of the frame after a Demers layup made it 19-5 with 13:41 remaining. The Lynx shrunk the deficit to eight, but that was the closest they'd get as Gordon went into halftime on a 28-11 run making it 54-28 in favor of Gordon.
• With 15:34 on the clock, Damoura hit a three to give the Scots their first 30-point lead of the contest. Lesley quickly hit a three on the other side of the court, but Demers answered back with another three to keep the 30-point cushion.
• The Scots kept a 30-plus point lead throughout the remainder of the second half en route to the 38-point win.

Beyond The Box Score

• Avelino Damoura booked a career-high 14 points.
• Garrett Sattazahn recorded his first career double-double.
• Said Head Coach Tod Murphy: "This was a good overall win for us. It was a good opportunity to get everyone in the ball game. Hopefully our confidence continues to grow, because the next three games are all very difficult."
