The visiting Bobcats dwindled the advantage then took the lead back at 67-66 with 10:18 to go. The two teams traded the lead down the stretch and Pitt-Greensburg ended up with a three-point advantage with 1:17 left after Bender hit two free throws. After Shaire Tolson-Ford hit a layup to cut the deficit to three once again with 11 seconds left, Pitt-Greensburg missed the front end of a one-and-one. With the clock winding down, the Mounties Arin Wade had a shot to tie the game but his attempt fell short after some contact by a Greensburg defender.
