Brockport fell behind early in the first half and spent most of the time in a deficit, but they never let the game get out of hand. Timely buckets by Justin Summers, Hamed Shamseldin and clutch free-throw makes by Michael O'Hara kept the game within three-points on multiple occasions.

From that moment on, Brockport held a clear advantage over the opposition and pushing their lead to as many as 14 points at the 08:04 mark.
 
Summers tallied 22 points on 11-of-18 shooting and snatched seven rebounds. Shamseldin played an all-around game scoring 20 points, grabbing five rebounds and dished out seven assists. O'Hara was a monster on the boards, corralling 14 rebounds and finishing one-point shy of a double-double.
