Madison Wynbeek continued to stay hot for the Scots, collecting a game-high 16 points and 11 rebounds to earn her 14th double-double of the season while shooting perfectly from the free-throw line (4-for-4). Meanwhile, rookie Hannah Lomonaco and sophomore Ami Rivera chipped in 12 and 10 points, respectively, in the effort. 

The Hawks were guided by Katie Galligan who recorded 15 points, while teammate Caroline Elie wasn't far behind with 14 points and seven rebounds. 

How It Happened

• Gordon's A. Rivera got the Scots going with the first basket of the game just over a minute into action but 22 ticks later, the Hawks grabbed the 3-2 edge with a three. The score was at a standstill until Roger grew their gap at the 6:13 mark. The squads traded points before the Hawks pulled ahead to take the double-digit lead (17-6) with 3:08 remaining. In the remaining minutes, Roger was able to outscore the Fighting Scots 6-1 to head into the next frame, 23-7.
• The Scots immediately cut their deficit to 12 (13-25) after a mix of points from Lomonaco and Wynbeek, however,  the Hawks retaliated to eventually take a 20-point lead (42-22) with 1:20 left in the second quarter. The blue-and-white refused to go down easy as Lomonaco and Wynbeek continued to dominate the court, adding six more points while holding Roger to two, ending the first half, 28-44. 
• While Wynbeek was able to open up the second half with a layup to chip away at the Scots' deficit, but the Hawks were able to hold on to their lead, to enter the final ten minutes, 63-46.
• Back to back layups from A. Rivera and Wynbeek shrunk the margin in the initial minutes of the fourth, bringing the score to 50-63, however an eight-point Hawk rally allowed the visitors to take their biggest lead of the game, 71-50.
