Joshua Jones (Jefferson, Maine) notched a double-double with 15 points on 6-of-15 shooting and 16 rebounds (four offensive). Daeshawn McMorrin (Naugatuck, Conn.) rounded out Husson's double digit scoring efforts with 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting from the floor and a perfect 4-for-4 mark at the line.

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 up at 56-56.
