"I was happy to see us playing as a group tonight. I'm excited because we embraced what we talk about every day. We just embraced being together, being tight and being tough.

How it Happened

• Looking at a three-point advantage, the Blue & Gray staged an early 9-0 run sparked by a free throw from junior Khia Miller and capped off with back-to-back buckets by graduate student Laila Jewett to put the Hoyas on top 16-4.
• Late in the first quarter, Stonehill cut the lead to eight but senior Victoria Rivera hit a triple and then added another at the buzzer as GU led 28-16 after one.
• Sophomore Summer Davis opened the second quarter with a jumper, and a three-point play from graduate student Chetanna Nweke had the Hoyas firing on all cylinders.
• Midway through the stanza, Miller went on an 8-2 run herself to balloon the lead to 25 points.
• The Blue & Gray led 49-29 at the half.
• The game began to get physical in the second half as the Hoyas spent much of the third period at the free throw line. The fouls allowed Georgetown to build the advantage to as much as 32.
• Stonehill answered, but six late points made it 75-41 at the end of the third.
• The Hoyas continued to build the lead, and Stonehill would never threaten as the Blue & Gray cruised to the 90-45 victory.
