Turning Point

Dana Lewis hit a pair of free throws to give the Retrievers a 33-32 edge with 16:48 to play. However, Snow responded with a jump shot on the other end and Proctor hit a layup and mid-range jump shot to give Stony Brook a five-point advantage, 38-33, at 14:53. 

Garner got UMBC back on the board with a bucket at the 14:28 mark, but layups by Snow and Miranda Jenkins put Stony Brook in front, 42-35, with 13:36 left. After an Amanda Hagman basket brought the Retrievers to within five, 42-37, Proctor fed Snow for a layup at 11:58 and Bayne-Walker followed with one of her own to extend the lead to nine, 46-37, with 11:03 on the clock. 

Hagman struck again at 9:59 to cut the margin to seven, 46-39, but Snow and Alyssa Coiro hit jumpers as SBU took the first double-digit lead of the night by either team, 50-39, at 8:26.
