The first half was played from beyond the arc as the two teams combined to take 37 three-point attempts. After seeing Adelphi get out to a quick 9-3 lead, the Chargers found their stroke, going on a 14-1 run during a span of just more than four minutes to take a 17-10 lead.

Adelphi rallied to open the second half as after the two teams played evenly for the first two minutes, the Panthers went on a 20-5 run including hitting on five three-pointers to open up a 51-41 lead. Undaunted, the Chargers went on an 11-3 spurt of their own with Bourke scoring all the points in the span, closing the gap to 54-52 with 7:46 remaining.
 
In a game of runs, the Panthers went an 11-0 rip of their own, taking a 68-55 lead with 2:35 to go. New Haven was able to sink a trio of treys down the stretch, closing the lead to seven points with 34 seconds left, but the Panthers held on in the waning seconds.
