Pittman netted his 22 points on 10-17 shooting from the floor and 2-5 from the free throw line. Blue scored 11 and Daniel Peterson grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds.

The Eagles shot 37.8% from the floor (28-74), shooting 0-12 from three-point range, and 19-29 from the free throw line. Rowan shot 37.0% (27-73), making 10-36 three point tries and 12-18 free throws. UMW dominated the boards, 60-41.
