How it Happened:
The Chargers grabbed their first lead of the game after a pair of free throws and a 3-pointer from sophomore Camden Hurst made it 5-4. LBC secured a lead on a layup from junior Nile Austin, then extended it to eight points on a three by sophomore Connor Storr. The Chargers found their largest lead of the half at 12 points as senior Tyshaun Pulley knocked down a jumper to make it 31-19. The Seahawks fought back in a big way, scoring 11 in a row to cut the lead to just one, then took a three-point lead at 39-36 with three minutes remaining. The Chargers responded with a 6-0 run behind back-to-back scores from Hurst, taking a one-point lead into halftime at 42-41.

St. Mary's (Md.) took the lead back to open the half, then Hurst made a layup to get the lead back and the Chargers never gave it up. Graduate student Jordan Praylow had five second-half assists, finding sophomore Daniel King in transition for a layup to keep LBC on top. Praylow then found junior Luke Rumbaugh on the fastbreak, then Rumbaugh scored again on a pass from Austin to boost the lead to seven. Good free throw shooting by the Seahawks kept them in the game down the stretch, cutting the lead to three at 64-61 before freshman Isaac Smalls drilled an open three to create separation. Late free throws by Hurst, King, Storr, and graduate student Grant Sareyka helped the Chargers secure a four-point win at home.
