• Kaitlyn Slagus recorded her 30th career double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

• Trailing by one, American used its last timeout following the bucket, and Bucknell used one right after to advance the ball. The Eagles tipped the inbounds pass and gained possession, but the clock didn't start when the ball was touched. After review, the Eagles were given the ball at midcourt with 1.2 seconds to play. Their deep contested three was off the mark.
