A Honis trey with 5:44 left in regulation put the Chargers ahead 67-60, but a 9-2 Eagle run re-tied the score at 69-69 with two and a half minutes left.  After two Post free throws, the team called a time out which allowed Dominican the chance to set up a play.  A missed layup allowed Brown to get the offensive board and put-back for what would be the game-wining basket.
