Danzig hit a clutch three less than a minute later to give Scranton its first lead of the second half. Following a couple buckets from Cortland, the Clarks Green, Pa. native threw down his first dunk of the year on a fast-break to tie the game up at 75-75 with less than five minutes remaining in the game.

The Red Dragons pulled ahead in the final three minutes and continued to make their free throws while a few turnovers proved costly for the Royals as they fell short, 87-82.

McLoughlin played well in his first game back from injury, finishing the game with 16 points. Scranton shot 58% from the field and 52% from the three but lost the battle on the glass 36-26. Cortland took advantage of its second chance opportunities with an 18-2 advantage over the Royals.
