 KEY MOMENTS
  • Southern New Hampshire trailed by two a little more than three minutes into the contest when a Grant 3-pointer sparked a 10-0 run that put the Penmen up, 15-7, with 14:43 remaining in the opening half. Grant led the way with five points. Felician eventually whittled its deficit down to a single point with 9:23 left, but four different scorers combined on a 13-2 burst – led by four from Greene – to give SNHU its largest lead of the contest at 34-22 with 3:16 left. The hosts would bring a 38-29 advantage into the break.
  • Felician began the second half with nine straight points to tie the game at 38-all, but five points from Greene powered a 10-0 rush that put SNHU back in front, 48-38, a little more than four minutes in. The Golden Falcons would eventually climb within 60-58 with 7:15 to play, but an 8-2 spurt – with four points from Grant – widened the Penmen advantage to 68-60 with 4:08 on the clock. Felician would not go away, knocking down a 3-pointer with less than three minutes to go to make it a 70-65 game. SNHU responded with a 9-2 run – highlighted by a huge Henderson triple with 1:03 left – to put it away.
