The Beavers finished off the first half to lead 33-29.

Widly Couloute started the second half off with an immediate basket to help the Hawks trail by just two points before scoring seven more points in the next four minutes to lead the team.

Patterson then hit a last second shot to give Hunter their first lead of the game going into the fourth quarter.

CCNY opened up the fourth with a three-pointer to take back the lead, making the score 61-52 in the first three minutes.
