Brown was named the tournament's Most Outstanding player after scoring 22 points and pulling in eight rebounds during the championship game. Taylor Wieczorek netted 16 points and grabbed nine boards while Maggie Roy had ten points and five rebounds as both players were named to the All-Tournament Team.

The Yellow Jackets shot 35.5% from the field on 27-of-76 shooting including six made three pointers. The Maroons held a 59-52 edge on the glass while shooting 31.3% from the floor.

Roanoke took a five point lead at 10-5 with 15:38 to go in the first half on a Rebecca Bays two point jumper.

R-MC cut the lead to one with 8:25 on the clock when Brown knocked down a trifecta to take a 23-21 lead.

The two teams traded baskets over the final minute before two foul shots from Bays sent Roanoke into the locker room for halftime with a 31-30 edge.

A Roy jumper started the second half scoring but the Maroons scored the next seven points, finished off with a Bays three point play that gave RC a 38-32 edge with 16:52 to go.

O'Briant knocked down a three on the next R-MC possession to spark a 17-4 run, later capped by a Jordan Cantrell two that put the Jackets up 49-42 with 10:58 left on the clock.

Roanoke cut the lead to one on a Bays' layup with 1:33 to play and then took the lead on the next possession after Kendra Porter dropped in a bucket.

The teams traded the lead over the next minute until Jordan Gholson sunk a layup to put the Maroons up one and was then fouled while hauling in a defensive rebound with 6.7 seconds on the clock.

After Gholson converted both foul shots with 6.7 seconds to play, O'Briant sprinted her way up the far sideline in front of both teams' benches.  The senior guard then heaved a shot at the basket that banked off the glass and through the hoop as the buzzer sounded.

The Yellow Jackets carried their momentum from O'Briant's game tying shot into the overtime period, scoring the first ten points to take a 73-63 edge on a pair of Roy free throws with 39 seconds left.

Porter hit a three on the next Roanoke possession but Randolph-Macon went 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the final 30 seconds to secure the 2011 ODAC Women's Basketball Championship 77-68.

RC was paced by All-Tournament Team selection Gholoson who finished with 21 points and 14 boards. Fellow All-Tournament member Nicci Moats scored eight points and hauled in ten rebounds.
