Arcadia (2-2) took its largest lead of the contest (42-15) with 6:28 left in the third period.

Cocci hit a three with 2:02 to play which cut Arcadia's lead to 57-44, and the Knights called a timeout soon after, but the final 11-point margin was as close as the Mighty Macs could trim their deficit.
