THE RUNDOWN:

• Sophomore Natalie Wind also ended the night in double-digits score, finishing with 11, shooting 4-for-11 from the floor, including 3-for-5 from three-point range. 
• Senior Ruthie Zientek and sophomore Chelsea Rairdon led the Lyons with five rebounds each, both pulling down four defensive boards and one on the offensive end. 
• Anna Walther and Mariah Nicholas led all players with 15 points for Roger Williams, while Nicholas also collected a game-high eight rebounds. 
• Despite shooting less than 40% from the floor in the opening quarter, Wheaton, led by five points from Emily Cuthbertson and Wind, took a slim 19-18 point lead into the second frame.
• Roger Williams capitalized in the second quarter, limiting the Lyons to just 10 points, en route to a 36-29 lead at halftime. 
• The Hawks kept the pressure on in the third quarter, opening the second half on a 6-0 run, before closing out the quarter on a 24-10 run. 
• Wheaton responded with a strong fourth quarter, allowing the Hawks just four points the entire way. Wheaton managed to pull within six points, 60-54, with 3:08 to play on a Pucci layup but that would be as close as Wheaton would get.
