How It Happened 

• It took a while for both teams to settle into the game, but Dickinson ended up getting points on the board first. Just when the Red Devils looked like they would open with a large lead, the Maroons fought back to make it 13-11 in advantage of Dickinson before the end of the quarter. 

• RC opened the scoring in the second thanks to two layups from Alicea Farmer. The rest of the quarter was back and forth though, and the squads went into the half with a 27-24 edge in favor of Dickinson. 

• The Maroons regained the lead with seven minutes to go in the third, but Dickinson found a way to stay just ahead of Roanoke with it being 43-38 through three. 

• The Red Devils pulled away in the fourth, maintaining at least a five-point lead throughout the quarter until the final of 56-46
