Gwynedd trailed by as much as nine with 9:35 to play, and got it to 62-59 with 6:47. An over the back foul off a Bengal miss, gave Crabtree two free throws, to make it 62-61 with 6:12 left. Junior Brandon Sharp (Hammonton, N.J./St. Joseph) added a bucket from Hogga cutting the deficit to one (64-63) with 4:59 showing.

Simmons and BSC pulled away for good, hitting twice from downtown, on two-straight attempts, to help turn a three-point lead into a nine-point deficit. Buffalo State would go on to hit 9-of-10 from the line to help seal the outcome.
