Thirty-three minutes into the game after a hard fought, back and forth battle the Seawolves found themselves trailing by six points, 68-62, at the 6:22 mark when SMCC guard Atencio Martin (Kittery, ME) hit a breakaway, momentum shifting dunk to cut the lead to four points. Two made free throws by Nouchanthavong brought the Seawolves to within two and then back to back made three point field goals by guard Jon Amabile (Portland, ME) and Martin put the Seawolves on top 72-68. The two teams then went back and forth, with all VTC's offense coming from guard Jamal Hughes (Murfreesboro, TN) who ended the game with 33 points to lead all scorers. Then came the ending dagger from Nouchanthavong with one second left to give the Seawolves the victory.
