Charlotte recorded their highest shot total of the season as they had 17 shots in the game. They limited DePaul to only six shots in the game.

"In the first half we did not use our flanks," Charlotte head coach John Tart said. "DePaul was forcing us to play the ball in the middle of the field. However, in the second half we began to use our wide players to stretch the field. This enabled us to get scoring opportunities."
