The second half opened with a 6-2 Seawolf run lead by Ellis Macea (Lawrence, Mass.). Paul Smith's College struggled to keep pace as Bosia found Mercier for a basket to extend the lead to double digits with 15 minutes remaining. The Bobcats chipped away at the margin breifly closing the gap before Franck Moron (Billerica, Mass.) recorded a steal and converted another fast break layup to reinstate the SeaWolves a double-digit lead. Minutes later, Ben Mullett (Hudson, N.H.) added big steal and layup allowing the Seawolves to maintain momentum. Both teams traded points for the reminder of the contest with a DeWitt free throw being the final dagger in a 77-66 decision.
