HSU would take back their lead and hold it through the final nine minutes of play, taking the win as the final buzzer sounded. 

Mason finished the night with 17 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Craig would end the night with 12 points and four boards. Fogle grabbed three rebounds while scoring 11 points for the Patriots. Alford finished the night with 10 points and a rebound.
