EWING, N.J. -- Rowan rallied from an 11-point first-half deficit and an eight-point margin in the second half to defeat New Jersey 67-63. The Lions (5-2, 3-2 NJAC) had led 34-23 late in the first half behind 7-for-10 three-point shooting, but the No. 14 Profs (4-1, 3-1) close the half on a 10-2 run, capped by a bucket just before the buzzer by senior forward Terrance Williams.

New Jersey opened the second half with a Joe Amari three-pointer and was soon back up by eight points. But Rowan would chip away at the lead, and by the 10:40 mark, a three-pointer by senior forward Jonathan Cokines cut it to 51-49 in favor of the Lions. But at 7:17 sophomore guard Torrey Brooks hit a 22-foot jumper and the Profs had their first lead at 56-55.

With 24 seconds remaining, Rowan had Williams at the line with the opportunity to ice it, but he missed both free throws, forcing Davis to get a huge rebound.

"The guy on the post didn't come in too quick, so I just beat him to the spot," said Davis. He then took it straight home for a four-point lead with just 19 ticks of the clock left.

"I thought about holding it and getting fouled," said Davis. "But I thought 'nah, let's get the points.' "

"This is one of the places that always gives us trouble," said Prof head coach Joe Cassidy. "So this is nice to get this one out of the way. I can't say enough about the rebounding in the second half. Davis and Terrance Williams complement each other out there."
