  • Emmanuel put the game out of reach by opening the second quarter with a 12-0 run before PMC senior forward Aleah Lauti (Millbrae, Calif.) got the Gators on the board to make it 40-12 with less than eight minutes to play in the half.
  • EC coasted into halftime leading 64-27, connecting on 58.0% of its field goal attempts in the stanza (29-for-50) while forcing 21 Pine Manor turnovers.
