The Red Hawks offense continued to dominate putting up 21 points in the frame to create a 23-point lead, cut down to 22 points in the final 30 seconds thanks to a 1-of-2 effort from Ennis at the charity stripe, 59-37.
 
The Aggies held Montclair State to just six points over the first four minutes tallying five of their own thanks to the scoring efforts of Wright. A nearly two-minute- scoring drought followed broken up with layups from both Wright and Keenan to bring the deficit down to below 20 for the first time in the frame, 65-46. Rivera added a layup for a final score of 65-48.
