Tuesday's game was one of the most well balanced scoring games Wesleyan has had all season with eighteen of NCWU's baskets being assisted on and every Bishop seeing their name on the stat line. Playing together as a team, Coach Artina Trader as the Bishops playing its best basketball at the right time of the year.

Two key categories in the huge win were points in the paint and points off turnovers, where the Bishops separated from Pfeiffer. With thirty post points, the Bishops dominated the blocks with Kayrisma Harrison leading the charge and being an unstoppable force for the Falcons. As one of the most versatile players in the league, Harrison went 6-8 from the field, while blocking a shot only to pad an astronomical stat sheet.
