But the Owls rallied hitting three straight 3-pointers to pull ahead 10-7 with 13:19. The lead see-sawed the rest of the half with five ties and three lead changes before the Owls took a six-point advantage (28-22) at the break.

Presque Isle led the whole second half but SUNY Canton (6-6) did pull within two points following a Uhlein layup with 2:52 remaining. But the Roos could only manage one free two for the remainder of the game as they went 0-for-4 from the field in the final 90 seconds of the game.
