How It Happened

• In the opening quarter the Lyons and Scots traded shots in an evenly matched quarter before the Lyons hit a jumper to break the stalemate and head into the second on top, 14-12.
• With just under three minutes to go until the break, Olivia Brown hit one from downtown to give Gordon its first lead of the frame. From there, A. Rivera scored the final four points to put Gordon up, 31-28 at the break.
• The blue and white grabbed a five-point advantage midway through the third quarter and eventually held a one-point edge going into the final frame. 
• Wheaton netted the first bucket of the fourth, but the Scots answered back quickly to regain the lead. However, the Lyons buckled down in the final minutes for the non-conference win over the Scots.
