KEY MOMENTS

• After a slow start from both sides, the offenses started clicking for points midway through the first quarter. Ashley Berube and Sutherland-Case traded basket for basket for the Blue Devils as both finished the first quarter with six points.
• Wagner ended the first and started the second with a three, quickly giving them a 22-15 advantage over CCSU. Wagner was creeping towards a double-digit lead, but clutch buckets from Meghan Kenefick and Dejah Jenkins kept CCSU within striking distance. Sutherland-Case dropped in another five points in the second.
• The duo of Berube and Sutherland-Case fought to bring the Blue Devils back to start the second half, and a successful trip to the line for Amaya Williams made it a one possession game. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, the Seahawks snapped off a 14-2 run after this and went into the final frame with a 16 point lead.
• After a quick bucket from Berube opened up the fourth quarter, the Seahawks again struck with a deflating 12-2 run. Two free throws from Sutherland-Case wrapped up this game.

NOTES

• The Blue Devils were without the services of Forever Toppin and Belle Lanpher.
• This is Sutherland-Case's second double-double of the season. Her first was a 16 point, 14 rebound game against Brown earlier this season. Her 11 rebounds were also a game-high.
• The Blue Devils were only outrebounded by one, but lost the turnover battle 21-13.
