RIT (7-14, 3-9 Liberty League) led by as much as nine in the first half, but by halftime, Bard had trimmed the lead to 31-28. RIT pushed the edge to seven in the first five minutes of the second half, but Bard fought back, and that's when things got interesting.

When sophomore Ben Kane hit three free throws, Bard led, 41-40, with 12:48 left in the game. From there, the game would be tied three more times as each possession grew more and more important with the clock becoming a factor.

A driving layup by Lamar Powell tied the game for the final time at 51-51 - and that's when Bard sent silent. The Raptors didn't score between the 7:20 mark and the 1:20 mark while RIT went on a 13-0 run, and that was it. The deficit stayed in double digits for the rest of the game.
