HOW IT HAPPENED

• The two teams played nearly even in the first quarter, as each squad went on small runs in the first 10 minutes.

But Roanoke answered back with an 8-2 run to close out the period with the Quakers leading 19-16.

• To start the third quarter, Roanoke scored the first four points to pull within nine at 37-28 with 8:29 on the clock. The Maroon defense did not allow the Quakers to score until 8:14 on a basket that nearly bounced out. Over the rest of the period, Guilford extended their lead by six from their halftime advantage to lead 58-37.
