Trailing 27-17 with four minutes and 24 seconds remaining in the first half, Castleton went on a 10-1 run to close the gap to 28-27 headed into intermission. Dammy Mustapha (Bellows Falls, Vt.) highlighted the run with two made free throws and a resounding rejection of Brooks Spaulding's (Fairfield, Maine) attempted layup just before time expired.

Down 56-53 in the second half at 5:14, sophomore guard Eric Modica (Kittery, Maine) buried a three-pointer on a feed from teammate Luis Medina (Hartford, Conn.) to tie the contest at 56-56.
