Saint Michael's lead dwindled to 25-22 at halftime, and the host Greyhounds opened the second half on an 11-2 run to lead 33-27. The Purple Knights kept their deficit at six points over the next several minutes, the last time at 40-34 with 9:51 to go, but Assumption sealed the win with a game-ending 24-10 run.
