How It Happened

• Gibbs and Foley teamed up early in the first to put the Scots up 6-2 before WNE found their rhythm en route to a 7-0 run to take the lead. Foley stopped the bleeding with four points of her own to put Gordon on top, 10-9 with just under four minutes to go in the frame.

• The Scots had good ball movement coming out of the break, finding the open player for for an assist on each of their first three baskets. A layup by Gagnon cut the deficit to six midway through the third before WNE began to widen the gap heading into the fourth quarter.
• Gordon was able to make it a nine-point game three times in the fourth, but WNE wouldn't let them get any closer, eventually taking the 14-point road win.
