How It Happened

* Abington trailed 75-74 with 2:13 to play in the overtime period when Brown scored a layup basket and in the process was fouled on the play. Brown connected on his free throw to give Abington a 77-75 advantage.

* On the team's following possession, the Nittany Lions doubled their lead after senior Kolby Miller scored a fastbreak layup. The Fords cut the lead back down to two on their next possession with the score sitting in favor of the Nittany Lions, 79-77 with 1:11 to play.
