  • Midway through the first quarter, a layup from Jordan Yastremski (Bath/Bath-Haverling) tied the game 6-6. Another layup, this time from Keyonte Edwards (Buffalo/O'Hara) gave the Bengals their first lead of the game.
  • In the closing minutes of the quarter, Buffalo State pushed its lead out to nine, 18-9.
