How It Happened

* Abington led the entire first half and held a healthy nine-point lead on four separate occasions in the second quarter. The Nittany Lions grabbed their first nine-point lead early in the second quarter after sophomore Amirah Hackney drained a three-pointer to make the score 23-14.

* A quick 4-0 rally by the Bison made it a five-point game at the seven-minute mark. Rajena Guettler hit a jumper to cut the score to 23-18. Abington regained its nine-point (29-20) advantage later in the quarter after Hackney converted a three-point score with a free throw with 4:26 left to play until halftime.

* The Bison closed out the half with a pair of free throws by Anya Pothorski as Abington led 32-25 heading into the locker rooms at halftime.

* Gallaudet opened the third quarter with seven straight points to tie the game at 32-32. The Nittany Lions responded with five unanswered points to grab a 37-32 advantage after junior Esther Cole hit a jumper at the 3:05 mark. However, the Bison bounced back and closed out the quarter on an 8-0 run to grab their first lead of the game. Gallaudet entered the fourth quarter with a 40-37 advantage.

* In the fourth quarter, Gallaudet maintained its lead and even led by double-digits after a three-pointer by Sunita Schmid-Jorg made the score 54-44 midway through the quarter. The Bison led by as many as 11 points (56-45) at the 2:25 mark.

* Abington cut the deficit to five points (58-53) with less than two minutes to play when sophomore Amina Reid drained a three-pointer. However, free throws down the stretch kept the Bison ahead as the team converted 8-of-8 from the line in the final two minutes.
