With 2:17 left in the game, Grace's Eric Gaff scored on a putback to give the Lancers an 84-80 lead.  After trading misses from behind the arc, Forester Chase Verba scored and was fouled at the 1:05 mark.  Verba missed the free throw and Gaff grabbed the rebound with the Lancers up 84-82.  Marcus Moore's 3-point attempt on Grace's next possession was off the mark and Verba came down with the rebound for HU.  The Foresters pushed it up the floor and Doug Sheckler found Yoder who buried the trey and gave HU the 85-84 lead with 19 seconds to play.  Grace's Dave Richmond drove the lane looking for a shot, but the Forester defense clogged the middle and forced Richmond to shoot a pull-up over the defense.  Sheckler grabbed the miss and was fouled with four seconds left.  Sheckler missed both charity tosses giving the Lancers one final ray of hope, but Austin Kaiser's running 40 footer at the buzzer was off the mark.

The game was close from start to finish as neither team owned more than a seven-point advantage.  Both teams had the range in the first half with each shooting 59%, but in the second period, HU cooled to 44% and the Lancers dropped to 50%.  The Foresters were aided in the victory by a 38-30 advantage on the boards and they went 12-17 from the line compared to 4-7 for the Lancers.

Both teams put four players in double figures in the game.  Grace's Marcus Moore took game-high honors with 25.  Gaff added a double-double with 20 points on 10-11 shooting and 11 rebounds.  Richmond finished with 15 and Michael Wienhorst had 12.  Kyle Ganton paced HU with 23 points and nine boards.  Yoder chipped in a season-high 16 points.  Kyle Benge had 12 points off the bench and Alex Kock added 11 points and nine rebounds.  With the win, the men improve to 22-4 on the season and 10-2 in the conference.
