HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Wagner opened up the game on a 9-4 run as Tanasia Russell had five points for the Seahawks. Towson used a 13-0 run to take a 17-9 lead on the Seahawks at the end of the first quarter. A steal and layup by Raven Bankston jumpstarted the run with 3:28 remaining in the stanza. The Tigers closed out the first quarter with another Raven Bankston steal, this time with redshirt junior Raine Bankston connecting on the layup.
  • Towson's defense came alive in the second quarter, forcing Wagner to turn the ball over nine times during that 10 minute stretch. The Tigers outscored the Seahawks 15-7, led by Martin with six points, two defensive rebounds and an assist.
  • The Tigers held a 32-16 lead at halftime. Towson shot 51.8% from the field while holding Wagner to a 23.3%.
  • Towson opened up the third quarter on a 9-2 run. Martin dominated during that run, scoring seven points, including a three-pointer and a pair of free throws. Wagner's only points came during two trips to the charity line. Sophomore Brittany Tarr was a perfect 4-4 at the free throw line to close out the third quarter.  
  • Wagner turned in its best performance of the game in the fourth quarter, shooting 46.7% from the field and going 3-6 from behind the arc. Junior Braysia Hicks tallied a career-high five points for the Tigers during the final 10 minutes.
