How It Happened

• Nearly a half a dozen lead changes highlighted the first 10 minutes of the first half before Quanico drained a three-pointer to start a nine-point run to gain control for the blue and white. 
• With 21 ticks left until the break, Quanico again sunk a three to give the Scots a 17-point margin before Curry nailed a pair of free throws to make it a 44-29 score at the half.
• Gordon started the second half off strong with a jumper from Sattazahn and a three-pointer from Zachary Bennett. 
• The Colonels cut the deficit to eight points off a Vargus jumper at the 11:34 mark, but that was the closest they would get as the Scots caught steam, going on a 13-0 run to lead by 21.
• In the final minutes, Gordon continued to maintain the upper hand, finishing off the contest outscoring their hosts 14-6 to secure the 90-67 W.

Beyond The Box Score

• Gordon's bench made their presence known, scoring more than half of the Scots' points (49 of 90).
• Zach Quanico registered a career-high with 15 points. Additionally, Justin Yu also notched a career-high with his 14 points. 
• Said Head Coach Tod Murphy: "We started slow again in this game, but our bench really picked things up when they came in the game. Zach Quanico and Justin Yu each went 4-5 from three point range, and that kept Curry at bay. Although we had a few mental mistakes defensively, I was pleased with our overall defense in the first two games. All in all, I am very pleased with how we played the first two games."
