SHARK BITES

• The game started end-to-end with a fast paced first quarter. LIU trailed 22-16 at the end of the quarter with half of the Shark's points coming from senior forward Kiara Bell.
• At the end of the second quarter, LIU went on an 11-4 run to end the first half and pull back to trail by just two points, 34-32. The bounce back was led by Carter, who made two threes, and had an assist on a three for freshman guard Danielle Grim.
• A Grim three-pointer put LIU ahead 37-36 early in the third, but the Blue Devils retook the lead and were up 48-43 with five minutes left to play. They held onto the lead until the middle of the fourth quarter, in part because of LIU's struggles at the free throw line.
