HOW IT HAPPEND

  • The first quarter went back and forth in the first five minutes with the score tied up at 10-10. A 13-2 run by the Hornets put the home team ahead by 11 with 45 seconds left in the half.

  • Trailing by seven going into the fourth quarter, the Maroons continued a 14-0 run that started in the third with 55 seconds left and ended with 7:41 left in the game with Roanoke leading 55-51. The Hornets were able to keep the lead within five or six points for most of the time remaining, but were able to pull within four with 2:36 on the clock. The Maroons then pushed their lead back to 11 before settling in for a 75-65 win.
