The teams were tied at 55-55 after Parker Friedrichsen fouled Fred Payne in the backcourt with 9:04 left and the sophomore hit all three free throws. Hildreth answered by hitting 3 of 4 from the line and Friedrichsen knocked down a 3 to put the Deacons up for good, 59-55.
Elijah Strong hit two free throws with :35 left to get the Eagles within two, 68-66, then forced a turnover and sent Payne to the line, but he missed the free throw and Reid came down with the rebound and hit both foul shots.
