Altoona responded with a strong run and eventually took a 78-75 lead on a three from Wigfield with six minutes left. The two sides went back-and-forth until Dillon Bender dropped in a triple to give the Mount a 81-79 advantage with 3:37 remaining. Altoona couldn't regain the lead in the final moments as the Mounties escaped with the victory.

With the win, Mount Aloysius improves to 10-11 overall and 7-8 in conference play.
