Box Score Philadelphia, PA – (12/30/2011) – A Bloomsburg University foul put sophomore guard Jakeem Bogans (Philadelphia, PA) at the line with a chance to give Chestnut Hill College the lead with less than ten seconds remaining. Bogans converted both free throws, 86-85, but on the ensuing possession senior center Larry Webster III (Elkton, MD) tipped-in the Huskies original game-winning attempt at the last second to capture an 87-86 victory for the visitors. Junior guard Mark DiRugeris Jr. (Woodbury, NJ) led six Griffins in double figures with 19 points.
 
Chestnut Hill College (10-5) controlled the lead from the start of the second half, but a late 8-0 Bloomsburg University (9-2) run brought all things even at 80-80. A three-point basket from freshman guard Luke Dickson (Pitman, NJ) extended the Griffins second half lead to eight, 80-72, with 3:43 left to play. An immediate response came with a layup from Webster and consecutive buckets from sophomore guard Dontahe Jordan (Williamsport, PA), allowing senior guard Trevon Johnson (Snow Hill, MD) to bring the score even with two free throws at 2:14. A pick-and-roll landed senior forward Dan Comas (Philadelphia, PA) a clean dunk of the following Griffin possession, 82-80, but it was not enough to dissuade the Huskies. A layup from junior guard Nnamdi Njoku (Westampton, NJ) gave the Huskies their first second-half lead with 20 seconds to play and left Bogans to set the offense for the Griffins last shot. He drew the reach-in foul and converted the necessary free throws, but Webster last-second heroics helped the Huskies escape with the one-point victory.
