RIT came out of the break ready to battle, outscoring Vassar 23-8 in the third quarter. Tara Lynch scored nine of her 22 total points in the frame to spark the Tigers' offense.

The shots continued to fall for the Tigers, as they scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter.

In addition to Lynch's 22-point effort, Jessica Glaz totaled 20 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.

The Vassar women's basketball team hits the road for two games before playing its final home game of the regular season Feb 17. The first of those two road games will be in Schenectady, NY, as the Brewers face the Union Dutchwomen on Friday at 6 p.m.
