HOW IT HAPPENED
-The two teams saw some early success from the floor in the opening half. However, despite Sewanee's 71.4% mark from the floor (15-of-21), it was Maryville's 7-of-11 performance from downtown that gave the visitors the 43-38 advantage at the halftime intermission.
-The Tigers trailed by as much as 15 points in the second half, but the Scots were able to secure the victory on the road thanks to late turnovers by the home team.
