As a team, Nebraska Wesleyan was 47 percent from the field and 73.7 percent at the free-throw line for the game. 

Defensively, NWU locked down Northland the entire game. The Jills only scored in double-figures in the fourth quarter and were limited to just seven points in the third quarter. Nebraska Wesleyan completely shut down the three-point line in the win, allowing just one three-point shot on 23 attempts.
