SCSU would push the lead up to 13 with under eight minutes remaining as the freshman cashed a three to set the score at 70-57. A 7-0 run by CSP cut the lead down to six, but the St. Cloud native again rang home a momentum killing three. Despite pushing the lead to double-digits on multiple occasions, the Golden Bears continued to chip away as the lead dwindled to five with 2:43 left.
