Mesick finished the game with a double-double, her fourth this season, as she scored a career-high 29 points and pulled down 12 rebounds.

While the game remained close for the first two minutes, a 10-0 run that ended eight minutes into the first half gave the Blugolds a 17-6 lead. The closest Randolph-Macon would get the rest of the way was six points while the Blugolds maintained a double-digit lead for the final 25 minutes of the game. The Blugolds’ largest lead of the game, 29 points, came with just one minute left to play. Eau Claire dominated down low, scoring 32 points in the paint to Randolph-Macon’s eight. The Blugolds also finished with 51 rebounds to 27 for Randolph-Macon. Eau Claire outshot Randolph-Macon 47.1 percent to 22.4 percent from the floor.
