How It Happened
  • Rosemont trailed for only a short time in the game, down a point with 17:07 left in the first half. A Kyle Lafferty layup 37 seconds later gave the Ravens a 6-5 lead, and the visitors were off-and-running. Rosemont put together a 10-0 run to grab a 12-5 lead after a dunk from Marcus Thomas with 15:16 left in the half. Holding a 20-15 lead, the defenses took over, and neither team would score for the next 3:55, when a Thomas jumper put the Ravens ahead 22-15 with 7:40 left in the half.
  • The Ravens would slowly expand their margin as the period wound down, and Rosemont would outscore the Pacers 23-15 the rest of the half to grab a 45-30 lead going into the halftime break.
  • A jumper by Thomas only 14 seconds into the 2nd half would start the scoring in the period.The Ravens would up their lead to their largest, 24 points at 60-45 with 9:41 remaining in the game after a couple of free throws were converted by Khai Roberts. From that point the ultimate result of the game was no longer in question, but the stats that would be put up by Rosemont's Marcus Thomas and Marywood's Connor Callejas would be the most interesting thing to follow as the game wound down.

Ravens' Top Performers
  • Marcus Thomas played an intimidating game, racking up 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists. The 15 assists crushed the program's standing record of nine assists in a game set by Russ Slawter vs. Centenary (12/7/2009) and Nadir Stukes vs. Cabrini (2/25/2014). The triple-double was the first such feat accomplished by a Rosemont player since the inception of the program.
  • Kyle Lafferty had a strong game, converting seven field goals on his way to scoring 15 points.
  • Clayton Wolfe hit on 6-for-10 from the field and scored 14 points.
  • Khai Roberts (11) and Itay Levy (10) also scored in double-digits in today's game.

For the Pacers
  • Connor Callejas stood out for the Pacers, hitting on 6-for-10 from the field, 4-for-8 from downtown and 13-for-14 from the charity stripe for a total of 29 points. His points represented roughly 44% of the points scored by Marywood today.
  • Shane Letthand added 15 points, hitting on 5-for-11 from the floor (3-for-8 beyond the arc).

Stats of the Game
  • The Ravens' shooting percentage from the field was 53.6% (30 for 56) vs. 34.6% (18 for 52) for the Pacers.
  • Marywood converted three more treys than the Ravens, but they attempted 28 shots from beyond the arc compared to 15 from Rosemont. In downtown shooting percentage, Rosemont hit on 46.7% of their shots compared to 35.7% for the Pacers.
  • The Ravens were credited with 20 assists (3/4 from Thomas's 15 assists) compared to 13 for Marywood.
