THE GAME FACTS
Score: Randolph-Macon 47, Roanoke 41
Location: Salem, Va.

The Short Story:  A cold shooting night by both teams saw the Roanoke women's basketball team fall in ODAC play at home to Randolph-Macon, 47-41.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• It took nearly four minutes for either team to score the first basket, after Peyton Kirchner got the Maroons on the board with a free throw at 7:50, as Alexa Kulakowski make a jumper at 6:14 in the first quarter. The next three minutes saw the Yellow Jackets answer with a 11-2 run to take a six point lead before adding another basket with less than 30 seconds left for an eight-point advantage going into the second period. 
• The second was much like the first, but flipped team wise. The first points of the quarter were score on a Kate Littlejohn jumper off a Kulakowski steal at 6:23. The Maroons would cut the lead to one at 3:36 before the Yellow Jackets scored their first points of the period. The team would play even with the scored tied at a low 17-17 heading into halftime. 
• There was lots of scoring early in the third with all but five points for RMC and three points for Roanoke scored in the first 2:46 of the quarter as the Yellow Jackets took a 31-24 lead going into the final period.
• The Maroons would outscore RMC over the final 10 minutes 17-16, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit as the visiting left with the six-point win, 47-41.

BY THE NUMBERS

• Kulakowski had the game-high 18 points while adding four rebounds and a steal.
