Holli Erkson scored 19 points for the Express that includes a perfect 7-for-7 day at the free throw line, while the team's overall free throw percentage at 80 percent (20-for-25) was also the fifth-best in single game team history.

Wells led from start to finish in Sunday's game versus the Fighting Tigers. Leading by six (27-21) with 4:01 remaining in the first half, Wells scored the game's next eight points to build a 14-point advantage.

Wells outscored the Fighting Tigers by an 18-to-8 margin after an early Cobleskill bucket across the next 4:35 to open up a game-high 20-point lead following Erkson's first three-pointer of the day. The Fighting Tigers would cut the deficit to seven points, 65-58, with 3:10 remaining in regulation time, but Erkson's second trey would reestablish a double-digit lead.
