• SVU scored the final five points to make it 23-18 after the first quarter and held a 39-36 advantage in the closing seconds of the half before RC's Jamella Foster made a layup with four seconds to go to send the teams to the locker room with SVU up 39-38.

• The Knights got a defensive stop on RC's ensuing possession then the Maroons stopped SVU but, turned the ball over before they could clear the SVU end of the court and committed a foul. SVU made one of two free-throws with 9.1 seconds to go while RC's final attempt to tie the game fell short.
• Beahm was 12-of-18 from the floor and 12 of her 18 boards were offensive. Bridget Holleran had 16 points for Roanoke. Livengood had 12 and Foster had eight. The Maroons shot 39% from the field, but were 0-of-13 from three-point range, while SVU was 12-of-25 from beyond the arc.
