How it Happened
• Hopkins jumped out to an 8-0 lead, fueled by a pair of Ethan Bartlett three-pointers, in the game's opening two and a half minutes. York answered with a Logan Collins layup and a Travis Stoll triple to pull within three. Junior Tom Quarry then drained a bucket from downtown at the 15:25-mark to spark a quick 7-0 Blue Jay run that pushed their lead to double digits less than two minutes later.
• Riley Dobraniecki then sandwiched a pair of layups around a Travis Stoll steal and score and just like that the lead was back to four with 12:27 to play in the first. The teams traded buckets over the ensuing nine minutes and Hopkins led 24-21.
• Junior Conor Gibson drained a three-pointer with 3:01 to play to ignite a 7-1 run that saw the Blue Jays take a 31-22 lead into the lockerroom.
• Coming out of the half, David Giuliani scored six straight for the Spartans, sandwiched around a three-point play by graduate student Conner Delaney, and it was 34-28 Hopkins with 16:57 to play. Senior Chid Nnake converted a pair of free throws, followed by a Lincoln Yeutter bucket in the paint to kick start a methodical 23-7 run that pushed the Blue Jays' lead to 22 with 7:48 on the clock. Seven Blue Jays scored during the run, led by Nnake and Yeutter with a combined 11 points. Hopkins lead would grow to as much as 26 in the final six minutes and would never dip below 20.
