The win was the 10th for RPI, which is now 10-6 overall and 6-3 in the conference, while Union falls to 5-10 and 2-7.

The Engineers doubled up Union in the third quarter, 10-5, for a 32-18 lead after 30 minutes and then held off the Dutchwomen for the 10-point victory. Union had cut its deficit to six points in the final frame, but RPI was successful on the free throw line down the stretch.
