How It Happened
The Hawks struggled from downtown in the game, shooting a season-low 11.5 percent from three-point range (3-26). Conversely, a strong second half for the Gulls pushed them past RWU, as Endicott shot 50 percent field the field (19-38) and from three-point territory (8-16) in the period.
 
Endicott scored first and quickly used an 11-0 run to turn a one-point lead into a 12-point advantage with 14:12 left in the opening half. Roger Williams eventually would tie the game at 20 apiece with 7:44 to play but could not take the lead. The Gulls built the lead to eight before going into halftime up 36-30.
 
A shot by Bryan Donovan (Gainesville, Fla.) on the Hawks' opening possession brought RWU within four, but Endicott quickly responded with 10-1 run to go up by 13. From there, the Gull lead never dipped below double digits. Endicott would lead by as many as 31 to roll to the win.
