Beyond The Box Score

• Gordon currently has a five-game win streak in head-to-head matchups against Wentworth. 
• Tonight's win marks the Scots' ninth of the season, the highest tally at this point in the season in 15+ years.
• Said Head Coach Carter Shaw: "I really liked our first half energy, focus and execution on both ends of the floor. We defended well and controlled the boards which allowed us to build a pretty good lead heading into halftime. Meghan Foley's first half was outstanding, Sarah Gibbs overall consistency on the boards was excellent and Madison Wynbeek played a very efficient game. It was nice to see everyone on the team play tonight and have a chance to get quality game minutes."
