Bellarmine (10-2, 0-1 GLVC) connected on just 27 of 74 shots for 36.5-percent shooting for the game. The shooting was particular icy during the opening of the second half with the Knights hitting just two of their first 19 shots from the field.

The game did not come any easier on the defensive for Knights as they had difficulty handling Quincy's 6-4 center Hannah Weedman, who finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 blocks. A transfer from the University of Evansville, Weedman hit 7 of 13 shots and all four attempts from the charity stripe.
