Four Colonials hit double-digits led by Danni Jackson with 16 points.
The Patriots are coming off an overtime 67-64 loss at Richmond.

The Spiders and Patriots were tied with as little as 2:00 to go in overtime, however the Spiders would take a 67-64 lead with 13 seconds remaining. Ngoie would get two opportunities to tie things up from beyond the arc, but couldn't connect.
