In the second half, the Knights opened with a 7-2 run to regain the double-digit lead. Brockport rallied to cut the lead all the way to five points at 58-53 with 7:03 left to play and still trailed by five points at 62-57 with 5:24 on the clock.

Geneseo scored the next nine points to build a 14-point advantage with 1:21 left.
