• Pat Goralski added 11 points.
• The contest marks the first game that Goucher College is participating in NABC Coaches Vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge. Fans can make a donation based on every 3-pointer the Gophers hit or a one-time donation. The Gophers are estimating they will hit 30 from behind the arc in the six games in the month of February and are off to a good start after hitting six in the game against Drew.

• Morton powered a 23-11 second-half run to tie the game at 57 and the Gophers had a chance to tie it with a 3-ball at 60-57 with 3:38 left and 62-59 with 2:51 left, but a turnover and a missed jumper did not go Goucher's way. A layup and a 10-for-12 performance from the free throw line for the Rangers ended the game.
