The Purple Knights helped their cause by shooting 54.9 percent (28-for-51) from the floor. The contest featured 19 lead changes and seven deadlocks, but Saint Michael's took the game's last lead, 62-61, when senior guard Mike Thompson finished inside with 5:58 remaining after junior guard Max Weaver and freshman guard Jamaal Greenwood knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to afford the Golden Knights their final advantage, 62-61. Dorgler filled the box score with 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists to pace Saint Rose. Furthermore, Eckstrom finished 8-for-10 from the floor to tie his season high of 16 points in 23 minutes off the bench, while Jones added 14 points. For Saint Michael's, senior forward James Cambronne scored 18 points and senior guard Mike Holton, Jr tossed in 17.
