How it Happened

• The Senators opened the contest with a 12-4 run in the first four minutes behind Jordan McElveen who scored all eight of his first half points in the run.   Lewis countered with a 20-7 run to grab a 24-19 advantage with 8:31 to go before the half.  Kevin Bracy-Davis scored 10 of his game-high 28 points in the first half to give D&E a 42-41 advantage.
• D&E was without the services of Rickenjee Bellevue who injury his knee in the loss to Malone.  
• The teams traded leads in the first eight minutes of the second half.  With the game tied at 54-54 with 11:42 to go in the game, Lewis went on a 12-4 run led by a pair of Max Strus layups. Struts finished with a team-high 19 points with seven boards and seven assists.
• Lewis wouldn't relinquish the lead despite the Senators trimming the margin 69-68 with 6:57 remaining and 80-78 with 3:07 left. 
• D&E's Wesley Sprinkle, who finished with 20 points, seven assists and two steal on the night, nearly pulled off a similar last-minute comeback that the Senators faced against Malone on Friday night.  Sprinkle sank a three-pointer to cut the lead to 89-86 and nearly forced OT, but his trey at the buzzer would not fall.
• Kevin Simpson recorded 14 points, Aleksandar Vasiljevic added 12 and McElveen finished with 10.
