Turning Point

McBryde went to the line with 16 seconds to play, knocking down 1-of-2 free throws to put the Seahawks ahead 80-79. Dundalk would rebound the second attempt and storm down the court before calling timeout.

Cecil nearly ended the game out of the break when a miscue by the Lions caused a jump ball, but the visitors had the possession arrow in their favor. Dundalk called its final timeout and setup a play for guard Hussain Williams with 2.5 second to play. The sophomore airmailed a three-point attempt, but the ball was rebounded and put back in by Dundalk's Jayse Barrett with 0.5 seconds on the clock to steal the victory away from the Seahawks.
