- Out of the under-eight media timeout, a three pointer from Alex Kazanecki followed by an Emory alley-oop from Bliss put Delaware up 50-43 with 7:13 remaining.
- The Hens had an answer for every GW basket the rest of the way, extending their lead to double digits. Free throws by Emory and Bliss in the final minute sealed the victory.
