RIC would take control in the second quarter, going on a 17-5 run over eight minutes, to go into the locker room up by five, 26-21. 

In the third, the Anchorwomen would score just nine points across five minutes of game clock, all of which came on a trio of Medbury three-pointers. Strong defense from RIC would help the visitors hold a three-point, 41-38, advantage going into the fourth quarter. 

Medbury would hit two more deep shots in the first minute of the fourth quarter as the Bantams hung within a possession for the majority of the final frame. Fifth-year guard Olivia Middleton sank a pair of free throws with 21 seconds remaining to secure the win. 

Middleton finished with 11 points and four boards.
