How It Happened
- The Greyhounds scored the first five points of the game on a jumper from sophomore guard Alex Dietz and a three-pointer by senior guard Danny Cooper.

- Susquehanna scored the next five points to take its first lead of the night at 18-17 before a jumper from Cooper at the 9:31 mark had the Blue and Grey back in front 19-18. The River Hawks scored five points for a 22-19 edge while two free throws from Cooper knotted the contest at 22-22 with 6:58 before the intermission. Susquehanna scored 17 seconds later to take the lead for good, and the River Hawks held a 42-34 advantage heading to the locker room after 20 minutes of action
- Except for two brief periods early in the second half when the Greyhounds had the deficit down to nine points, Susquehanna had at least a double digit lead for the remainder of the night
