How It Happened

• The Ravens opened up with a 15-3 advantage after the first 6:33 was played on a couple of field goals from Marcus Thomas, followed by four baskets from Jamier Hughes and punctuated with a three-ball from Charles Presley. The Pacers would make inroads into the Rosemont lead and would outscore the home side 7-2 to sneak back to within seven points of the lead with 10:33 on the clock.
• Still ahead by seven points, 21-14 with 8:41 left in the first, the Ravens would put together another solid run of 8-0 to take a 15-point lead, 29-14 with 6:19 on the clock. Over the next 2:29 Rosemont would add seven more points to their lead to take a 38-16 advantage with 3:40 left in the period. The Ravens would hold on to most of that lead, ahead 40-19 going into the locker rooms.
• The scoring pace for both sides was decidedly slower to start the second half, with the teams combining for a total of only three points in the first 3:04. The Ravens would not be caught, as each time the Pacers made some inroads into their deficit, Rosemont answered with an even stronger stretch. Ahead 44-26, the Ravens would extend their lead to 27 points, 57-30 with 11:20 remaining in the game.
• Rosemont continued to put together a great offensive and defensive strategy, enabling them to up their lead to 69-34 with 7:25 left in the game. From that point, it was known to all in Alumnae Hall that this game was over for all intents and purposes.

• Khai Roberts shot 50% from the field (3-for-6) and a perfect 5-for-5 from the charity stripe to account for his 11 points on the night.
