How It Happened:
DePauw got the scoring started before Molly Deurloo drained a three to put the Scots in front, but a two-and-a-half-minute drought coupled with six unanswered by the Tigers made it 8-3 for the home squad. The margin remained approximately the same moving forward with the first quarter ending at 17-13 in favor of DU.
 
The second period was one filled with streaks as DePauw opened the lead up to eight (24-16) before Alma scored a hypothetical touchdown to cut the deficit to one, 24-23, near the midway point. The Tigers answered with a run of their own, posting the next eight points (32-23) as the Black and Gold held a 38-31 halftime lead. The Scots chose to do most of their scoring from beyond the arc by going 4-for-9 (44.4%) whereas the Tigers went 8-of-11 (72.7%) in the paint for their points.
 
Halfway through the third, both teams had scored nine each (47-40). After DePauw made a layup, the Maroon and Teal clad visitors clawed back to within one yet again with an 8-0 string, including five in-a-row from Emmerson Goodin (49-48). The homestanding Tigers held the advantage going into the final ten minutes of regulation, but only by four, 54-50.
 
For the first time since 50 seconds into the contest, Alma pulled even at 58-all at the 5:50 mark in the fourth. Retaking the upper-hand was never in the cards however, as (RV) DePauw outscored the Scots 15-5 the remainder of the game to claim a 73-63 decision.
 
Scots' Top Performers:
Kate Starkey led all student-athletes with 21 points in addition to leading the visitors regarding assists at four.
 
Emmerson Goodin logged the most well-rounded and time efficient showing of the day, going for ten points on 4-for-7 (57.1%) shooting and a contest-best eight rebounds as well as one of two Scots to garner multiple steals (2), all in under 20 minutes (19).
 
Deurloo was the third and final Alma athlete to log double-digits, notching a dozen points (5-of-6, 83.3%), five boards, a pair of steals, and two dimes while Delaney Seaman tallied a trio of three-pointers off the bench.
