GAME REWIND
Jackie Grisdale got the scoring started for the Bobcats, going 2-for-2 at the free-throw line just 29 seconds into the contest. After that point, Quinnipiac and Stanford were trading buckets, but the Bobcats were able to hold a small advantage, 16-15, at the end of the opening quarter.

The second quarter started the same way the first one ended, with both teams getting their looks to fall as the two teams were knotted at 26 halfway through the second frame. In the final 4:27 in the quarter, Stanford went on a 16-7 run to take a nine-point lead into the halftime break.

To start the second half, the Bobcats were able to cut the deficit to four before the Cardinal turned their lead back into an eight-point advantage. After the media timeout, Stanford maintained their distance, taking a ten-point lead into the fourth quarter.

The Bobcats were not giving up as they opened the fourth quarter on a 6-0 run to make it a four-point game once again. After Stanford went back up ten, Quinnipiac had the response, cutting the deficit back to four with just under two minutes to play. The Cardinal wouldn't let the Bobcats get any closer as they closed out the game on a 13-5 run and sealed their spot in the WBIT Quarterfinal round.
