• Bridgewater used a 16-5 run midway through the first quarter to take a 26-11 lead on a Brianna Moore three-pointer. The Eagles would lead 31-18 after the first 10 minutes of action.
• A Hassell basket with 2:41 remaining in the half made it a 41-34 game but BC would score six of the last eight points to take a 47-36 advantage into halftime.
• The Eagles would extend their lead to 55-38 on a three-pointer with 7:29 to go in the third quarter.
