The finish to the game seemed to be a microcosm of a wild game between the two teams on Tuesday night. After Hopkins' three-pointer with 54 seconds to go gave Biola a 61-57 lead, San Diego Christian was able to answer back, getting two offensive rebounds off missed three-point attempts before Calvin Seaberry answered back with a trey to make it a 61-60 game with 15 seconds left.

Biola's Given Kalipinde was fouled on the inbound and hit one of two free throws to make it a two-point game. After a timeout, the Hawks ran a great play to get the ball to Xavier Mylleille who was one-on-one with Price in the low post. Mylleville went to his left, into the lane and went up only to see his shot rejected by Price as time expired. While there seemed to be a lot of contact on the shot attempt, the officials did not see a need to call a foul and the Eagles escaped with the victory.

As has become a frustrating regularity for Biola fans, the Eagles saw a big lead slip away late. Despite trailing through much of the first half, Biola opened the second half strong, using a 9-0 run to take its largest lead of the game at 44-36 six minutes in. A pair of three-pointers on the next two possessions by the Hawks' Raphael Rodriguez quickly brought it back to a two-point game.

Biola held on to a lead of as many as six the rest of the way and led by five with 4:17 to play. However, a three by Johnny Delbene followed by a Mylleville layup, tied the game at 56-56 with 2:28 to play. Price hit a layup to with 2:05 left to give Biola back the lead for good.
