How It Happened
 
* West Chester used an 8-0 run over the final 2:26 to rally to defeat the Tigers late.  Robert Smith drained a three-pointer to tie the game at 69-69.  On West Chester's next possession, Jamil Manigo grabbed a key offensive board and scored a tip-in basket to make the score 71-69 with 1:24 remaining.  Another offensive board on the Golden Ram's following possession led to a pair of free throws by Matt Dade to increase the lead to 73-69 with :24 seconds left on the clock. 
 
* Holy Family was held without a basket in the final 2:45 of regulation with the team's last bucket coming of a Kharon Randolph (Philadelphia, Pa./Haverford School) layup that made the score 69-66 in favor of the Tigers.  Holy Family shot 0-for-5 in the final minutes from the field and were 0-for-4 from the free throw line in that span. 
 
* The Tigers overcame a double-digit deficit early in the second half when West Chester led 48-38 at the 17:16 mark.  Holy Family used a 9-0 run over the next three minutes to come within one point of the lead at 48-47.  Holy Family eventually tied the game at 56-56 on a jumper by Rick'Keem Mixson (Linden, N.J./St. Mary of the Assumption (Raritan Valley CC)) just past the midway point of the half.
