Frostburg State, which led by as many as 12 in the second half, lost despite having three scorers reach double figures, including Christian Jackson, who broke the school’s single-season scoring record.

DeSean Antoine had a team-high 23 points and hit 6 of 9 three-point shots for the Bobcats, including one with 36 seconds left in regulation that tied the game at 71 and forced the overtime. Royce Hunsberger had a career high 17 points and three three-pointers. David Patrick had seven points and seven assists.
Mary Washington (14-12) opened the overtime with a six-point spurt, but the Bobcats (10-15) clawed back and led 78-77 with 1:13 left. Farinet’s two free throws were the only points scored in those final 73 seconds. They put the Eagles ahead 79-78 with 29 seconds to go.
Bradley Reister added 16 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for Mary Washington, which out-rebounded FSU 56-11 and held a 44-14 edge in points in the paint.
