From the opening quarter, the Virginia Cavaliers set a strong pace with 19 points against the Tribe's 12.

After halftime, there was no letting up as they posted another solid performance with an additional 19 points in the third quarter; meanwhile, William & Mary managed their highest for any quarter with 17 points but still lagged behind significantly.
