• In a first half that featured five ties and eight lead changes, Southern New Hampshire used back-to-back 3-pointers from Harris and senior Kurtis Henderson (Brockton, Mass.) to grab the largest lead of the half at 23-18 with just under seven minutes to play. With the margin still five with under three minutes left, Dominican ripped off an 11-1 run to build its own five-point lead at 32-27 with 1:10 on the clock. Five straight, including a buzzer-beating triple from freshman Dante Green (Dix Hills, N.Y.), sent the game to the break tied, 32-32.
• The opening seven-plus minutes of the second half saw four ties and three lead changes before the Penmen seized a 49-45 lead with 11:05 remaining. A Daniels trey nearly two minutes later sparked a 5-0 run that gave SNHU the largest lead of the contest at 55-49 with 8:30 left. The Chargers used a 10-1 rush down the stretch to slide into the lead at 60-57 with 2:23 to play.
• They would still lead by three with 1:36 left when Daniels went on a personal 6-0 run to flip the Penmen back into the lead at 65-62 with 49 ticks remaining. It was a one-point game with less than a second left when Greene made one of two at the line and Henderson grabbed the offensive rebound to seal it.
