How It Happened 

• The Maroons came hot out the gate, scoring nine unanswered points to open the game. They keep the momentum going, and by the end of the period RC had a 20-9 advantage. 

• It was a much different story in the second as EMU heated up, especially from the three-point line, and RC cooled off.  Roanoke did enough to hold onto the lead, going into the break at 34-33. 

• RC regained their edge quickly though in the third, opening with eight straight points, and came out of the period up 52-45. 

• It was a bit slower of a fourth quarter offensively for both sides, but the Maroons were able to hold off EMU to pick up the 65-56 victory.
