Jay Donovan drained a trey for Delaware Valley just 24 seconds into the second half, but a 12-2 FDU-Florham run was capped by a Kevin Furlong 3-pointer to make it a 44-39 contest with 11:18 remaining.

That's when Sullivan took over. He hit a 3-pointer and, after a Devil turnover, went to the foul line where he sank both attempts. FDU-Florham missed at the other end and the Aggies moved the ball around the perimeter until Sullivan got a wide-open look and nailed another trey for eight straight points and a 49-39 advantage.
