Seaforth's 25 points off the bench were the most points scored by a Southern player who did not start the game since Jan. 15, 2019, when Seaforth scored 31 points against Saint Anselm.
Southern had 10 steals as a team for the first time since Jan. 9, 2019 against LIU Post. They did so only once a season ago.
Southern's 15-point comeback was their largest comeback since Jan. 7, 2017, when came back from down 17 at halftime, 41-24, against Stonehill to win 73-64.
Southern went a perfect 14-14 from the free throw line. It was just the fourth game in program history the Owls shot 100 percent from the free throw line (min. 12 attempts). It also occurred on Jan. 26, 2019 against Bentley, March 14, 2015 against Bridgeport, and Nov. 25, 2014 against Pace.
