Cortland led for the final 37 minutes of the game, but was never really able to put away the Bears until the end. The Red Dragons led 37-24 on a Bonura 3-pointer with 3:50 left in the first half, but Potsdam got back within six, and Cortland led by nine at halftime, 40-31.

Cortland jumped out quickly in the second half and took its largest lead of the game at 64-48 on a Bonura 3-pointer with 8:07 remaining. Potsdam, however, made another push with a 12-2 run over the next five minutes. Thomas made the first of two free throws with 2:35 left to cut Cortland's lead to 66-60, but Lydon's traditional 3-point play with 2:16 left began a 9-0 Red Dragon run to end the game.

Six different Cortland players made at least one 3-pointer as the Red Dragons finished 13-of-27 from the arc (48 percent). Cortland shot 45 percent from the field overall and 75 percent (12-of-16) from the foul line. Potsdam ended at 36 percent shooting overall and 31 percent (8-of-26) from three.
