Location/Venue: Danville, Va./Averett University/Grant Center

Records: Randolph-Macon (2-3, 1-0 ODAC), Averett (1-4, 0-2 ODAC)

How it Happened:

• The offense sputtered a bit in the second, as R-MC shot just 3-12 from the field in the quarter but holding to just a four-point deficit at halftime.
• Jane Elkins (Annandale, Va./Bishop Ireton) led the way in the third, going 3-4 from the floor for six points, coupled with great defense from R-MC led to a seven-point swing in the third to be ahead going into the final quarter.
• Kagey closed out the game with eight points in the fourth to help R-MC extend the lead and seal the win after being up by as many as 14 late in the game.

By the Numbers:

• Kagey stole the show with 24 points to couple with nine rebounds in the win. Her first 20-point performance this season.
