THE RUNDOWN

• Howard jumped out to a 7-2 lead and eventually pushed it to 11-4. Elon responded with defensive pressure and key second-chance points, capped by Tyana Walker's late 3-pointer with 1:13 left in the frame that pulled the game even at 15 after one quarter.
• Elon took a 20-19 lead with 7:41 remaining in the half thanks to a 3-pointer by Kamryn Doty and defensive stops. The Bison came back to take a 26-22 lead before a last-second floater from Maraja Pass cut the Phoenix deficit to 26-24.
• The teams traded baskets to open the second half, with Elon holding a 31-30 advantage after back-to-back buckets from Ashanti Fox. Howard countered with an 8-0 run to lead 38-31 with 2:25 remaining and eventually ended the quarter up 41-32.
