UH Hilo was down by two points with 14 seconds to spare on the clock when Donald McHenry came up with a nice bucket in the paint to tie up the game 88-88. 

The Vulcans pushed overtime, but it was the Seawolves who scored first. UAA's Oggie Pantovic scored the first basket in overtime.

The Vulcans, resilient as ever, worked their way back to take the lead. Aniwa Tait-Jones had a steal that gave McHenry the opportunity to score the leading bucket of 95-94.
