HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Jumping out to an 8-3 advantage was Mary Washington and eventually the Eagles expanded that lead to a 20-7 difference. The hot start by Mary Washington would come to a screeching halt down the stretch of the first half.
  • A bucket by Clayton Coe brought Methodist back to within single digits of the lead, 20-11. Then back-to-back threes by De'Shaun Kee made it a five-point difference for the Monarchs. Montell Moore and Coe each scored four points in the last three minutes of period to give Methodist a 27-25 edge over the Eagles at the break.
  • An early three by Andrew Rowson put Mary Washington down by one, 29-28, but Kee countered with another three to make a four-point difference. After tying the game twice, a Dorian Davis three-pointer gave the Eagles the lead again, 37-34. Mary Washington made it a three-possession contest with a couple of more threes and an additional basket.
  • A quick 5-0 spurt by the Monarchs got them back down to within four, 45-41. The Eagle though registered the next seven points to make it 52-41. Methodist to bring the deficit back down to single digits on two different occasions, including a layup by Moore with four minutes left in the half.
